275 / 60 R 20 On Stock Rims?

[gsx2004]

Looking into ordering the tires today, wondering if Cooper Zeon LTZ 275 60 R20's will fit on stock 20" rims with a RC levelling kit?

[old-chevy-dude]

they fit on the rims.. doubt you can tuck them under the fenders without a lift..

 

the outer diameter of the OEM 275/55 r20s is 31.9 inches..

 

the outer diameter of the 275/60 r20 is 33.00

 

 

with the 2 inch leveling kit is it said that a 33" tire is the largest you can go.. so doing the math.. with the leveling kit they should fit, but you might experience rubbing in reverse against the front plastic inner fender covers.. so you may need to trim a tad..

 

 

and just so you know (and if you already do ignore this)

 

275 is the width of the tire in millimeters

 

60 is height aspect ratio, so 60% of 275 = 165mm

 

and 20 of course is the rim size..

 

 

a lot of people think the 45/55/60/75 etc is a set size.. it isn't, it is the % of the width.. so a 245/60 R20 would be more narrow, but the nearly (only .3 difference) the same overall diameter and sidewall size of the oem 275/55 R20

Thanks a bunch for the info, i am new to this so this is definitely a learning curve for me.

 

What size would you recommend going with a 2" level and cooper zeon ltz's?

I would think you could run those with no issues. Coopers tend to run a little on the small side anyway. But you have 2" of additional clearance up front and you are talking about a tire that is 1" taller than stock.

Yes, they'll fit fine and look good.

agreed, I prefer a small wheel size (17" or 18") with more sidewall.. 266/75 R17's are what I am looking at, they are the exact same overall diameter of the 275/55 R20s, but much meatier sidewalls..

 

if mine was a 2WD and I wanted to dump it, then yes 20's or 22's but 4WD with a lift, 17's max 18's

hey did you pull the trigger on the 60's yet? if so please post pics. i just bought some fatory 20s and am choosing tires also. was considering the yoko parada? ranked hi on tire tack withthe 55 size. i am going to keep my 18 all terrains in the garage for fun trips but for daily driving these 20's should be quieter and handle better on road.

I put them on last week along with my RC level, so far no rubbing at all. I will post pictures tomorrow.
