Tire and wheel question! For 85 c10

[evanmetal]

Hope this hasn't already been posted but I havnt found anything yet.
I have an 85 short bed step side, 2wd. Stock ride height.

I have a set of 20 inch wheels I'd like to put on it and the tires on them are bad (275 45 r20)
I would like to put some 275 55 r20 on it ,was wondering if anyone has ran bigger or of they know it will work with out bad tire rub?

Any Info would be appreciated, thank you.

275-45/20's = approx. 29.7" OD
275-55/20's = approx. 31.9" OD

They might fit but will likely rub.

What backspacing and width are the rims?

[evanmetal]

I'm not sure on the back spacing ,the width is just under 11 inches.

I test fit one yesterday seems like it has plenty of room

Got the 275/55 and they fit just fine ,no rubbing at all on the stock ride height
