Take the 4.1 to 1 ratio
Quite simply is 4.1 turns of the tail shaft = 1 turn at the wheels
The 4.88 to 1 ratio is 4.88 turns to one etc etc
So for the same rpm, the 4.88 provides the lower speed, which combats any increase in tyre size (larger rolling diameter)

Can you fit 20 inch rims to a ml triton, will there be any mods needed or anything
Cheers

I found a big increase in fuel usage, slower acceleration, an increase in low range crawling speed and legality with the 285/75x16 tyres on my MN.
IMO the negatives of running 33's on the Triton far out weigh the extra 1/2" of lift you gain under your diff.
Everyone's different though.
