20" wheel size???s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a chance to go up to a 20" steelie wheel.

When you guys go to 17", 18", 20" or 22" wheels do you try to maintain the stock wheel diameter so your speedo isn't jacked up or do you go with a tire size that looks good on the rim?

Thanx in advance

I would suggest going with a tire that works best with the truck. You can always replace the trans speedo gear to calibrate the speedometer.

think I'll go with 255/40/20's on all fours, pretty sure the rims are 8" or 8.5" wide. I'll know more after I pick up the wheels.
