For example my 10 year old truck can do the same things my cousin's brand new truck can do. Gets only slightly better fuel economy



Probably all those dumb arse giant rims they put on trucks now.

Those giant dumbass rims have a purpose half of the time. Big brakes require big rims

I have 20" rims from the factory. 13.5" rotors + 2 or 3" of calipers would require at a minimum 18" rims. The rotors and calipers wouldn't be able to cool down if they didn't have enough air circulation, so they have bigger rims.

Not many people think about that
