Tire Size For Bagged Guys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nandrews17 · 02-02-2013, 03:47 AM

My pickup is slammed, and I just put some smoothies on. (They came with 245/35/20s and they look small). There is no rubbing at all and I feel I can fit a couple more inches in diameter. I was thinking 245/55/20s, or 245/50/20s. The taller the better so I can get closer to not rubbing headers.

Let me know what some of you guys are running (especially in the front).

Thanks guys,
Nolan

I actually like your rear tire setup than the front.. The front does look like it can use more rubber. Maybe a taller tire on the smoothie will fix that. Try the same aspect ratio that you have on the rear for the front.

Swap to a 40 series tire and some mid-length headers.
Those TALL tires have to turn also.
So stay away from 50 or 55 series tires.

Turning was my main concern. I'll snap some better pictures when it's a little nicer out.
