Re: Anybody running a 255/45/20 and 295/40/20 combo?

The new rear wheels will have 5.5" of backspace. I spent some time researching, and I'm pretty confident about that, so now if I can figure out my tires while I wait for the wheels to come in. You're right, it's all personal preference. I like a little more tire than some, not as much as others. Not everyone will agree. I may just have to take a chance and try it. I haven't found anyone with that combo yet, but I'll keep looking at pics and make up my mind eventually. I have a few weeks.

I'm running 255/40/20 and 295/40/20. 4/6 drop implemented with ECE springs/spindles up front and ECE blocks/springs/shocks/C-notch out back.

No issues at all. Some might say that the sidewall is too small on the front with mine. I like it though.

Hth,
