Another Tire Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did a search and didn't find an answer to my question. Feel free to point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for a good 20" tire size for a static drop (4-5"/6") square body. I don't want rubber band tires and I'd like to use a taller in rear tire for better mileage. I'm not sure if I want bigger tires in the rear or the same all around. I'm mainly concerned about the tires rubbing when turning.

Whats everyone running? THANKS!!
