Question WHEELS & TIRE SIZES

LOOKING TO PUT 20'S ON MY 71 1/2 TON BURB. I WILL BE LOWERING IT WITH AIR RIDE COOL RIDE KIT. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT SIZE TIRES I SHOULD USE WITH 20 X 8.5 WHEELS. I'VE SEEN A FEW WITH 255 35 20'S THAT LOOK GOOD BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WOULD LOOK GOOD WITH LOWERED BURB. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT.

I'm running 245/45/20's on mine, the 255/35's just don't have enough sidewall for these trucks imo!

I am using Dunlop SP Sport 2000 285/30/ZR20's up front with 275/35/ZR20's out back. Yes I know the rear is a hair narrower then the front, long story, but when my rear bags are complete that will change.

Sublvr, I have got to see that thing in person, you are doing all of the things I am wanting to do. I would really see how those seats fit as well as what you are planning on doing for the air system!
