The 18s or the 20s? There's a raptor in town with the 18s and I think the wide stance on the raptor makes them look smaller. If you get up close to the tire it is actually a pretty big chunk of rubber.

 

Does anyone with the 285x65-20's think they would still clear a leveled truck if the wheels were +12 offset? I want Black Rhino Sierras but I know the 20's are already close on +27 wheels.

Pretty sure it will have 18's.

What offset are your wheels? I'm thinking about the same in 20x9 with 0 offset and I'm curious about the lip width and how much they stick out.

Just drove a raptor with 35x12.50R17 KO2's in desert. Loved them.

Anyone running 305/65r18.....basically a 33x12 tire, but in BFG, it's probably more like 33x11. All data/pics I can find indicate this would be the perfect size for a 2.5" level.

Me too! just got my first rotation done. These tire ride great, really no more noise over the stock tires at highway speed. I'll be buying these again some day..

Literally been running these tires for the last 20+ years on my gm trucks. Started with my 89 s10 Baja and never looked at any other brand since.

The full front and full rear pics aren't showing the tires clearly. I can post those tomorrow's. Sorry for keeping you waiting it makes the heart grow fonder. If you are waiting for my pics to pull the trigger on tires I'm sorry, just go for it though! You know they'll fit, it'll be awesome. If you put wider tires on stock wheels you will more likely have more rub. But taller may start to have rub issues in back without actual lift or something, right? I could be wrong.

 

I have the same truck and these are exactly the look I'm going for. I had considered 275/65 R20's but those 285's look killer. I'd love to measure the tires before I actually got them put on my truck to see if all KO2 285/65R20 are the same.

I just put the 285/65r20's on my Sierra and I love them. They were 34" tall unmounted and 34.5" mounted and aired up (off the truck). They are narrower than the 12.50 tires but 1.5" wider (actual tread width) than the stock SRAs and look perfect. Another 1" wide would have required way more lift than I wanted to deal with, these are the limit for a leveled truck. I am rubbing on the mudflaps which will take more work but I have +12 wheels and only a 2" level. I think they would have cleared stock offset wheels.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
