Re: Tire Size

I also have a set of 20's that are on 255/35/20 tires which are bit smaller than yours. With your tire size did you have to tub the bed?

Re: Tire Size

nope. theres about 3/8-1/2 inch on the inside, and about 1/2-5/8" on the ouside.

im running the stock leafs minus about 7 leafs, and no panhard bar. the tires are above the bed about 2 inches and i have never rubbed.

Re: Tire Size

I am curious if you are staying with the six lug. I am trying to figure out how to "shrink" the front hubs so I can fit after-market rims on my six lug. I am also looking at getting 20's.

they sell 5/8" narrow A arms, but i think if you are ordering aftermarket rims, then you can get your backspacing right to set your rims in.

I like the sound of that. Does anyone know what the minimum size notch is needed to lay running boards?

Re: Tire Size

235/70/15's...my measurements say they're going to fit, but I won't be sure until the body goes back on
