and if you increase the unsprung mass and or increase the distance of the mass from the center then it will take more energy to get the assembly rotating and more energy to try and stop it rotating
thats what you are doing with taller tires
not rocket science just old newtonian stuff
replace a 16" wheel with a 20" = 2in on the radius (that value always gets squared) and thats where you have moved the majority of the rim mass and then the distance where you moved the tread mass
but hey they look good
