Default Dropped dubs

Dropped 20's on my tch. 245/35's Road noise a little louder and ride a little rougher, but looks great. Drove a hundred miles today and tank ave at 36.5. My TCH no longer looks like my grandma should drive it.

Wow, I guess I'm a grandma...I assume you are talking about tires, but what are "dubs"?

Not exactly the right thread for this question but I've always wondered this so here goes...when you change the size of your tires, is there a way to recalibrate the car's odometer? Larger tires mean more distance per revolution of the axle and if the odometer just counts revolutions, your distance traveled and mileage numbers would be wrong.

As long as you maintain the same rolling diameter you are o.k.
The sidewalls on the 20" tires are going to be a lot smaller.

Most people do the plus 1,2,etc to keep the same speedometer/odometer calibration.

TCH: 215/60-16 (771 revs/mile)
Plus 4: 225/35-20 (770 revs/mile)
