Truckhead, do you have any pics of your truck on the 40 series sidewall?

A big thank you to the guys that have replied to the thread. I'm still debating on what size I was to run. I'm considering between these two different combinations:

First Choice:
255/35r20 Front
285/30r20 Rear

Second Choice:
245/30 or 35 R20
275/35r20

Any pros or cons on these combinations?

Cons: Not enough sidewall to protect those wheels if used regularly (daily driven or over the road driving).

So w/ bs of 5.5" you should still be able to drive around slammed but just not be able to turn lock to lock. you should be able to still get some turning radius right? I saw in a different thread where you mentioned that you had 5.5 bs upfront right now but were looking to change that. W/ that 5.5" bs how much can you turn the wheel when slammed?
