Question about Tires

05SierraZ71 · January 11, 2006

Before I bought my truck, I was looking at one (2005 Sierra, Charcoal Grey, Ext Cab z71), the thing that really caught my eye on it was the wheels/tires... It had the factory 20"wheels, but they had some sort of off road tire, which I believe was made by bf goodrich. This truck didnt have a lift either. I was wondering if anyone has seen this option, or could recommend a tire to fit 20" wheels, on a 2005 sierra with no lift.

I originally was considering getting some black 20" wheels for my truck, and mounting some off road tires on them, but it seems a decent set of aggresive off road type of tires for 20s will cost as much as the wheels themselves. Maybe I'll just get smaller wheels......

20's and off road tires? Are sure they were 20's and no lift?

Intresting. I wonder how good of an off road tire that would be with such little sidewall?

I just ordered 285/65 BFG AT's for my 18 inch rims I just bought. I shouldn't need to lift the truck, but I plan to get the 1.5 inch cogs and shocks from offroad unlimited (if no noe has any objections, gonna start a thred).

Hope you find a answer.

The truck I saw them on was a brand new truck, and did not look to sit any higher than stock... so I am pretty sure it did not have a lift.

I would like to get some big wheels(black 20" with the chrome lip) for my truck for looks, but since I don't want to lift it or put small tires on it, I'm probably gonna have to look into some nice 18's.

Another thing is alot of the wheels I have looked at say they are offset for rwd, but I'm not sure if they are set right, and if they would be strong enough for a truck. If anyone knows where I can check out some nice black truck wheels(not the plain looking kind) let me know... thanks

There are a few companies that make the off-road tire with a larger rim. They are suiting to the "big rim" style that most people like. I always assumed that it was appearance over function because the sidewall is so small. But, on the other side a mud tire on a big wheel does have a cool look and it would get through inclement weather in the suburbs!!

I have a 3in body lift with the torsion bars cranked and I am running 20s with 35in Nitto Terra Grappler. I like them real well. Had to trim spoiler a little but other than that, they fit good. Here are some pics.

Those wheels and tires look good! How do they ride? What did they cost you?

Why the hell would you put 20s on a d**n 4x4? You a street queen or like a drug dealer or just a dumbass?

Maybe because he has the money, and wanted his truck to look good.

Why would you insult someone like that?

God, it's good to know you accept other peoples tastes. I am sure he likes the way it looks. Personally I think it looks badass. Also, you shouldn't be calling anybody a "drug dealer" with a stupid a$$ signature like you have. And you sure as hell don't need to be calling anyone a "dumbass". Would you like me to bring a couple of your stupid threads and posts for everyone to see? Hell, just look a couple of threads down and you will find your intelligent thread about "minimum lift for 305's". If you would click the search function then you wouldn't need to ask dumb questions. God, I am sick of people like you on message boards. Don't come on here bashing other people when you are f&cking tool to begin with.

Oh s**t, your right. I completely forgot that everyone buys a 4x4 truck to bury it in the mud. How could I be so clueless. You sir are a jackass. Also, you are bordering on rascist comments, so I would watch your ignorant step if I were you.
