What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
Wondering what tire sizes anybody is running with 20's all the way around. I have 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in the rear. Also what tire make have been looking at Toyo's. Just looking for some input if you have a pic that would be great too.

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
The tires I'm using are in my sig. If you're not running bags or 5/7 drop, I doubt you'd want tires as short as mine. Check out summit racing, they have good deals and free shipping.

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
I love that truck. I saved that picture a few years ago for reference when I got my tires. Mine is also 255/40 and 295/40 on 20x8.5 and 20x10 wheels.

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
I have 255/40/20 & 295/40/20, seems to be the popular size for 20's.

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
Was running 295/40/20 on the rear... switched to 295/45/20 for a little more sidewall. I ended up widening my wheel wells for a better fit. 18's on the front though.

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
We use Nitto NT420-S 255/40/20's and 285/40/20's on our customers trucks (fleetside with wide rear end and 5.50 BS 20X10 / 20X8.5 5.25 BS front) , make for some nice sizes. Nitto doesnt offer a 295/40/20 in the NT420-S or I would probsbly run them in the rear.

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
I can tell you from experience, 295/45/20 is a little tight with a 20x10 and 5.5" BS on the wide rear housing. I guess it depends on how low you run it. I was at 6" spring and 2" block and it rubbed a little when turning into a steep driveway or the local burger joint if the entrance was at an odd angle. (Hard to describe)
Not sure on your backspacing but .. I'd suggest 255/40/20 and 295/40/20 as others have. Toyos are good looking tires. My next ones will be Toyos. (Proxes STII)

Yep. What he said. My 295/40/20's rubbed and I was running a (60" wide) camaro rear end which is more narrow than stock. I just swapped in a narrowed 9" (58") and widened my wheel tubs 1.5" to run my 295/45/20's. BFG KDW's . Its an awesome looking tire. |

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
255/40 and 295/40. I think it's the best fitting/looking out there.

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
Thanks! I live in W Cola and used to own S &S Art Supply. You may have seen it sitting on State Street not moving until I bought her two years ago and started fixing her up. I should be at ProAuto's open house next Saturday on Gadsen St. if you want to chat.

The 245/45/20 is a stock tire size for the Dodge Charger (at least in 2006 it was) so I went with it so I could rotate them. On the Charger they used 9 inch wheels. I don't think the tires look to narrow on the wheels but I would not go any narrower though. My 245/45 tire is 28.6 inches tall and 9.6 wide, and the 275/45 is 29.7 inches tall and 10.8 wide. 1 inch taller over all. When I need new tires I probably will go with a 275/40 tire which is 28.6 tall but is 10.8 inches wide. I hope this all helped your decision. |
