I too wanted a certain look with my tires for my 20's. I didn't want to low of a profile, yet i didn't want the SUV thick sidewall look either. I found after alittle research that a 40 series sidewall is a great compramise between the thick and thin.

Truckhead, do you have any pics of your truck on the 40 series sidewall?

A big thank you to the guys that have replied to the thread. I'm still debating on what size I was to run. I'm considering between these two different combinations:

First Choice:
255/35r20 Front
285/30r20 Rear

Second Choice:
245/30 or 35 R20
275/35r20

Any pros or cons on these combinations?

Cons: Not enough sidewall to protect those wheels if used regularly (daily driven or over the road driving).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
