Pics of 4x4 on 20's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

6600DURAMAX · 03-06-2006, 06:42 PM

This should bring out the critics, but I am starting a project and am ready to purchase some wheels and tires. I am running 35'' tires of some sort and thought it would look good to run a set of 20'' rims.

Now I know this isn't the most popular and I personally dont even know if I am going to like it that is why I would like some pics before I drop a couple grand in tires and wheels so any help is appriciated. Some pics of 17'' and 18'' would also be helpful

thanks guys

**special-K** · 03-06-2006, 09:10 PM

Hopefully there`s none out there.I`m so predictable.

6600DURAMAX · 03-07-2006, 08:40 AM

No one has a 4x4 with anything other than the plain old 15's or 16.5

Come on guys??

3qtrtontarrer · 03-07-2006, 08:55 AM

i have hummer wheels for my 68 4x4 3/4 but not on yet.

shelby987 · 03-07-2006, 09:04 AM

my 4x4 has 16's

Rollie396 · 03-07-2006, 12:47 PM

I saw a pic of a 72 4X4 (IIRC) with big inch wheels.I can't find it now but I'm sure I saw it on here.I thought it made the sidewalls look alittle too skinny for a 4 wheeler but we know how opinions and bellybuttons are similar.

i've got 18s on my pickup. only 31" street tires, though.... stock height 4x4. made for runnin the highways

Go to the BLAZER section & check out the 4WD Sticky, not P/U's but you get the idea

Didn't Wes have a couple of lifted 4x4s with big inch wheels?

6600DURAMAX · 03-08-2006, 09:39 AM

The blazer looks great with 17's on it. maybe 17's or 18's are the way to go??

Still would loke to see more pics if they are out there

You can get some really big 20's (lots of sidewall) if you want em. My 05 4X4 Yukon XL has 20's on them and I could go really big, just seemed like the limiting factor was $$$, if you have it the sky's the limit on sizes (hight)

6600DURAMAX · 03-08-2006, 04:33 PM

I agree, it only takes $$$ but I plan on sticking with 35/36'' tires. Still am up in the air about these 20's, think I might play it safe and just go with some 18's ??????

It won't cost a ton, but 18's are about the same as 20 for cost of wheels, and the tire prices are from discount tire.com. I'd have put the 33X20's on my Yukon, but I haven't dropped the $2k on a lift kit yet, so I am stuck with 285X40x20. They offer a BFG in the 285 size, but they are almost as much as the 33's. I am planning 20 on my Blazer if I get it that far along.

About the only way* that 20s look correct on a 4x4 are with tires like the 49 inch irocks I think (like the H2 has in the ads in the offroad magazines) and other insanley huge tires.

6600DURAMAX · 03-10-2006, 10:01 AM

Ya, after looking at a couple different trucks I think 18's with 35'' rubber will make a little more sense

thanks guys

67shortie · 03-10-2006, 11:16 AM

Well, it may be just me but the 4x4's don't look quite right with 20 inch bling wheels on them

A little out of proportion or something, but

They kind of look (to me) like those late 80's GM cars with 26's on them lifted and out of whack. But that's my $.02
