Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

I ordered some Billet Specialties wheels the other day without pricing tires beforehand and all I can say is "WOW". The cheapest tires I've been able to find are $509.00 a piece. Does this sound right for a 335/30/20 ,to go on a 20"x12" rim ,or am I not looking hard enough to find a better deal?

If I do have to spend that much on tires I only have to buy two of them since I already have the new tires for the front purchased. Anybody know any place or website where tires may be a little more affordable?

Youre not looking hard enough! I just bought BFG's for my 22x12s and 20x8.5 and got them for 1200 for all 4

You can save 100.00 a tire by going with a 35 vs a 30 series.

What sizes are you running?

Re: Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

tirerack has a bunch of 315-35-20 in different brands for less than 400 bucks. Tiresdirect.net has a toyo in this size for $196. they are not the size you were looking for but close.

Re: Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

I'm not dead set on that size, I just thought that size would look best on a 12" wheel. You guys that are suggesting 305's and 315's have any you seen those sizes on a 12" rim before? How well do they fit the rim? Got any pics?

Goodguys show is this weekend I'll be scoping out wheel and tire sizes all day:lol:. THANKS

i want to know how your putting a 12" wheel on your truck? did you have the rear cut down or a different rear all together? is your truck tubbed?

thanks Ray

I am not sure how low you want to go with your truck.

For my taste, I have have found you want a front tire 28 inch diameter and a rear 30 inch diameter for my application (body sitting on ground)

Im gonna run a Front 20X8.5 255/40/20
Rear 22X10 285/35/22
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!:metal:

Re: Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

Stock rearend, widened wheel tubs, 7" BS on wheels.

20x8.5 with a 255/40/20

Re: Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

I can't wait to see pic's when your done. I have always liked your truck and it keeps getting better and better!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks Ray

I use a 20x12 on the rear. I have 315/35/20's they fit the rim good. I buy mine as take off's on ebay. They came stock on BMW X5's so you can find them pretty easy.

Re: Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

Thanks for the info, I actually decided to go with the 315/35 instead of the 335/30 just because of the price difference.

Re: Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

Just to throw this out there....I have a brand new set of Sportsman S/R 29x18x20's in my storage I'd let go for cheap. Not neccessarily trying to sell them but if it would help you out. I'll show you a pic of a vette with 12 in. wide wheels, same tire. I didn't see this car in person to verify wheel or tire size but this was claimed in another post. Anyway if they'll work for you pm me.

Re: Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

Hey rustspot,

Where is the thread on that vette. It sure looks more like a 15" tire compared to a 18" wide tire. I just ordered the 29/15/20 S/R's and that width is what I am expecting.

Re: Tires for 20"x12" rim. (too much $$$$)
 

I didn't know they made a 29/15/20 I thought the 29/18/20 was the closest size they made for my application. If they make a 15" wide tire that would be better for my app.

Boy, I've got to get better at researching things.

The 15" wide tires are new for MT. They reccommend a min. of 13" wide wheel. I know people put them on 12" wheels but I am going to run a 13"
