I personally like the "look" of a 40 series tire in relationship to the 20" rim.
To me it looks correct in my mind.

But the bigger issue is being able to turn and drive it with a static dropped truck.
There is no adjustmjent in ride height, like on the bagged trucks.
I guess you could pull the inner fenders,... so you won't have to worry about "buzzing" them on the big bumps in the road.

Total tire height is my concern on a static dropped truck.
The taller the tire,... the more wheel backspace you need to turn them "inside" the fenders.
