Re: 20 inch tires 65 chevy truck

a higher tire I have never heard of a higher tire maybe it is a fire STONER? JK. I dont think that will do it. Do you have power steering ? That would help in the steering. Your putting on a bigger widder tire that WILL affect how it steers, a manual box will make it harder .I would sugest a front end allingment,check your shocks as well as any loose front end components and make sure the wheels are ballanced.
Keep in mind that when you go to a bigger rim / tire you are going to change how your truck handles. Keep us posted

Take it back and tell them to do it over untill they get it right ... I never liked those big wheels on trucks .. Or cars for that matter too...
