I still need help with 20" wheel sizing.... Help please...
I've pretty much asked this question a million times but I still have never gotten a straight answer so... Here goes!
I have drop spindles in the front and hangers/shackles in the back. What size 20s do I need? What size tire? Is anyone else running 20s with a drop like mine? If so can you post a picture of your truck? Someone PLEASE help me so I can quit posting this same question. Thanks guys!!! |

Are you looking for help selecting the width? I have 8's on my truck and I am happy. I think that is a pretty good all-around choice.

It all really depends what you're after and what you can find in your budget. I strongly suggest reading this post Here.

I know exactly what wheels I want. The grey C55s from Coys.
I just need to know the size. I know I want 20s I just dont know the width and backspacing I will need and what tire would look good with my drop. |

FWIW, I would recommend 255-40/20's up front for a good 4" of sidewall to offer better deflection vs. potholes if driven daily.
20x8.5's w/5.25"BS 20x10's w/5.00" BS

Hazieview..... keep in mind that regardless of what math calculation indicates, it's only an estimate. Each tire manufacturer should have a list w/their tire dimensions.
