305/50/20 possible?

[tenx82]

I'm ordering a set of 20x9 wheels with +15 offset. Does anyone know if a 305/50/20 tire (specifically looking at the Cooper Discoverer H/T) will fit at stock height without rubbing?

I know on the 7-13 trucks a 2" level is needed to pull that size off, not sure about a 14 though. You don't want to level that bad boy?

Actually, I want to put 2" drop shackles on the rear. I was also considering lifting the front 1" and removing the rear blocks to level it out. I want to leave a little bit of rake, and I don't really want to change the front end geometry very much, if at all.

 

I asked this on another forum also and haven't been able to get a clear answer. If I don't get a clear answer by the time my wheels arrive, I will likely just go with a 285/50.

You will have to raise the front 2" at least to clear those 305. Putting a 2" leveling kit you won't need to lower the rear.

Found a solid deal locally on some 285/50 Goodyear Eagle GT2's with 5k on them. I think I will go that route for now and try for a 305 maybe this summer.

I don't think you will get a 305/50 to fit with that offset. People are doing the 305/55 with a 2" leveling kit on a stock offset.

Do you know the stock offset for the 2014 20" wheels? The ones I'm ordering are available in +15 or +30.

Stock offset is very close to +30.
