The burb got new shoes have a ????
The rears are running 295/40/20 and it looks like a 6 inch drop in the rear will be too much with these tires. I realize that the burb at stock height now has settled but it looks like I might have to go 275/40/20. The fronts will be fine with a 4 inch drop. What do you think?

Looks like a perfect balance to me. I say put them on, then decide.

I bought them used and they did not come with lug nuts or they would already be on the burb. I never thought I would have used rims on a vehicle that cost more than the vehicle.

Re: The burb got new shoes have a ????
295-40-20's = less than 30" tall & would (should) be slightly shorter than what you have installed. The mitigating factors would be wheel offset & rear end year model (width).
What's the bs of the rear 20'' wheels?

The are supposed to be 5 inch. I took a tape measure to them but it is kind of hard to get exact.

Re: The burb got new shoes have a ????
72 rear housing (wider vs. the earlier models) & 5" bs should work fine @ 6" of drop w/a <30" tall tire.

Re: The burb got new shoes have a ????
That is what I wanted to hear and what I have seen others run. I guess it is hard to tell without the tire mounted.
