Wheels/Tires/Level on 2wd questions.....

[Ian-NH]

I bought a 2014 RCSB 2wd about 6 months ago. It was lowered but I have the stock parts. I also bought a 2.5" Rough Country Ft+Rr kit with rear blocks and u-bolts.

 

I've ordered 20x8.5" wheels with 18 offset per what I've read here. I've also read that 305/55-20 will fit with my planned level/wheels with minor rubbing at full lock which I can live with.

 

But I know you guys are all referencing 4wd trucks. I've read that 2wd is the same height as the 4wd so my fitments should match.

 

Before I drop $700+ on rubber, is this accurate? If not, I'll settle for some 275/60-20's but if they'll fit I really want 305/55-20's!

 

 

Thanks for the help guys.

My truck is also a 2wd, and with only the 2" front level piece in (have the extra 0.5 but haven't felt the need/want to put it in yet) I have no rub on my tires (I did zip tie the liner back, not sure if it was necessary as I did it before installation as a precaution), and they are about the same width, maybe 0.05" wider than 305/55/20s. If you go by tiresize.com or doing a true conversion of a 305mm width, it comes out to about 12". But if you look at the actual specs of a 305/55/20 tire, they're usually around 33x12.4.

 

You should be fine.

I know this is 6 months after I asked the question but I finally pulled the trigger and went with 275/60-20. It wasn't a size thing really but I chickened out on the extra weight of E load tires and bigger losses in MPG's.
