Who Has 275/60/20s On Aftermarket Wheels?

Just as the title states. i know there's a ton of people running 275/60/20s on OEM wheels with a leveling kit... but id really like to see this tire size on some wider aftermarket wheels with less offset (like 9" wide with +18mm offset to be exact )

Downsizing so soon?

Nope... i'll be due for new tires about this time next year so i want to have my "plan" way ahead of time. I'm pretty sure i'm putting the Cooper LTZ's back on... but im torn whether to go with the 275/60/20 or 305/55/20. If i get the 275s i'd like to "level" my truck with 1.5" lowering shackles and get some airbags for towing.

Figured someone has to be running the 275/60/20s on aftermarket wheels... maybe

Edit: the only benefit to the 305s is the "look".. even though they're the same height as the 275s they're almost 20lbs more per tire, they're about $120 more per tire so thats nearly $500 more for the set. I know that the 275s on stock wheels would look too small... but if they look pretty good on someones truck who has a 2+ leveling kit with some aftermarket wheels, it'll really help my decision..

In my truck mod reference folder I downloaded a picture of another members truck that has 275/60/20 on aftermarket wheels. I'm not sure which member it is or if it would even be OK to post a picture of another members truck but they are out there, perhaps a search for Cooper might find the original thread?

As a side note, I have been looking at these as well and it seems that the 275/60/20 only comes in the P XL rated tire, does that seem to be what you have seen. I will probably be getting a set of the six spoke OEM wheels from the 08 models to replace the factory wheels that will come on mine.

post that pic man! i cant search now, im on my phone and its a pita.

im not concerned about a P XL load rating...those tires are more than capable of handling the full capacity of our trucks and quite honestly, i prefer the XL rating to save weight over an LT tire. theres been plenty of discussion and threads dedicated to this already though. i have found that the LT version in some tires look better and more aggressive than their P rated counterparts (the toyo AT is one example).

Here you are and we best say thanks to whichever member these are from, I just can't remember.

awesome thanks! that looks pretty good..... i think i can definitely pull off the 275s without them looking small.

I think they will look great on yours and just hope that they have close to the same impact with the OEM wheels I am looking for being these:

I just noticed that the Duratracs come in a 285/60/20... that might be a good median between my 305/55/20 ATZ's and the 275/60/20 Coopers. Just need to do something about the $300/each price tag (edit: and damnit, they're E rated and 60 lbs per tire! Coopers are still winning imo)

Are we sure those are 20's in the pics? There seems to be quite a bit of sidewall. Are those the Cooper LTZ Zeons?

I just put the coopers on those wheels and it looks good. I ordered new wheels but I will try and snap some pics tomorrow and post them. I need to clean my truck first
