Hey guys just order some bonspeed wheel, 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10. Looking for suggestion on tire size to run. Dont know anything about tires and there numbers so any thing would help. I like low profiles but dont want rubber bands either. Dont know if you need to know but running airride technolgies kit.

Thanks for your time,

Gary

Gary... IMO there's only one size I would run and that's 255/40 and 295/40. The tires I'm running are Toyo Proxes S/T ii's and are a matching set, front to rear.

You can run this tire on a bagged truck, everything hinges on the BS (backspacing) for the wheels. I won't buy another set of tires other than these in the future. The ride and wear has been amazing thus far as there's a good sidewall height.

It will look just like this:

Hi Gary,

Where did you order your Bonspeeds from?
