Tire Size Help Por Favor!

jwe45bb · February 10, 2011

Please before u tell me to search, trust me, I have. 2011 4x4 CC with TGC 2.5 Leveling Kit. Wheels are 20x9 with +18mm offset. With that size and offset, can I run 305/55/20 w/o trimming? Or should I do 305/50/20, or 295/55/20, or 275/60/20? Any input much appreciated....

Personally I would run the 275/60-20 because its a true 33'' and just under 11'' wide.

however, if you want that 12'' wide tire then you need to run the 305.

the 305/55-20 will definatley rub. thats just over 33'' and 12 inches wide.

just my .02

EDIT: the 305/50-20 is only a 32'' tire so i wouldnt even consider that one

the 295 might be the best compromise for what you want, but they might rub

If u want a tire that wide you have to go with the 305/50/20 and hope for the best..The 55 series is just flat out too big, its been covered countless times on here..I have ran that size with a suspension lift @ 7.5 inches.

Another option would be a 285/60/20.. its a little taller and skinnier than the 305/50/20.. Personally i think wider looks meaner, i would go with the 305/50

Its the width much more than the height of a tire that makes it look more agressive, and what changes the stance of the truck. For example, from 10 feet away its hard to tell the difference in a 33x12.5 and a 35x12.5.. but you can sure tell the difference in a 33x12.5 and a 285/70
