The tires are Toyo Proxes STs. 315/35/20 rear, 255/45/18 front. I wanted 245/45 for the front but those don't come in the ST line. On the tire calculator at 1010tires.com the fronts are supposed to have a sidewall height of 4.51", and the rears 4.34", so .17" of an inch, but as you can see in reality the difference is more than that. I am going to live with it. Its mid July and I want to drive this truck before that white stuff comes back again! |

working on finding a tire dealer that can set me up with the right sizes for the right price. I am also replacing my pads and wheel bearing at the same time.

I'll say this.....that deep back rim looks fricken great with the tire all tucked in that wheel well.
You must of narrowed your rear a little and widened you bed wheel wells? Truck looks great now and will look fantastic when all back together.

Re: Stagger wheel size or not? 18" & 20" or 20" all the way, What do you think?
Ok, resurrecting this thread because I have some driving time on my truck now.
I am running the stagger 20 rears/18 fronts. For the look I wished I had gone with 20s on the front, but now that I am driving the truck and have found what air pressures I like, I am glad that I have 18s. I say this because even with the 18s the tires are pretty close to the inner fenders at 82-85 psi, about 2.5" I'd say. If I was running 20s with this pressure I'd be near 1.5" before bottoming out. I have driven the truck with 90-95 psi in the front and its just too rough riding for my tastes. Of course, this would not be an issue if you don't run the stock inner fenders. If anyone would like pictures of my truck at ride height, I will be happy to shoot the appropriate picts and post them... |

I would love to see pics of ride height. I would love to run the 315 but would like a little more side wall. Your truck looks good.

I went with 20 's all the way around. You want that stance. Buy some lowered coils and or drop spindles. I have that stance but when it comes to the tires I can rotate them. I have drop coils , 2.5 drop spindles with disc brakes and a front sway bar. It rides very nice. Here is a bad pic..

Re: Stagger wheel size or not? 18" & 20" or 20" all the way, What do you think?
Ok here they are... All these are at ride height, 82/83 front 49/50 rear. I have found these settings the best for the ride quality I want. Fwiw, I am running the GR2 shocks from Early Classics, which may have some effect on the ride and what air pressures work best. I already had the GR2s so I did not buy the ART shocks.
Hard to judge depth in the closeup picture, but that is about 2.5" of clearance. |
