4.5/6 Drop, Tire size rollin on 20's - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nitto has a lot more sizes now between all their tire models. That 295/35/20 would look great.

thank you brother didnt know that was out there. what would it be for the front 275?

HotRod C/10 · 09-12-2012, 02:55 PM

A 255/40 would probably keep close to same height on sidewalls.

same bubble look to it ? i have 255's now but 35 so all that a 40 would do is be taller or iam i wrong ?

HotRod C/10 · 09-12-2012, 04:53 PM

Its a perfect match............ 255 divided by 25.4=10.039 x. 40= 4.01 sidewall height...... 295/35 has a 4.064 sidewall.

HotRod C/10 · 09-13-2012, 10:34 PM

Looks like i am going 295/40 and 255/40

weever82 · 09-13-2012, 11:20 PM

I did a 275/45/20 all around. C-notched with 4/5 drop in rear and 2 1/2" spindles in the front. There is no rubbing and I can swap the tires around when the back ones start getting worn out. lol

Heres a side view. I can take some close ups of the wheel wells and backside of my truck if needed. I actually had room to go another almost 2 inches in the rear and another inch in the front but was worried about rubbing over big bumps, etc..

Truck sits perfect IMHO......How does she ride? Tire specs?

68fixeruper · 09-15-2012, 05:54 AM

The ride isnt bad im sure with a taller tire and smaller wheel it would be alot better. The fronts are 245 40 20 and the backs are 275 40 20. Should be 295 but i got a deal on these wheels so i can live with it.
