Tire Trouble
I am looking for a tire and rim package for my 87 stepside. I cant seem to find a website or store for that matter that has a tire that will fit 20 in rims and have a low enough profile to it. Can anyone help!!!!!?????? I also want to go wider on the front and rear tires and put a 4 in static drop all the way around. Right now it sits the original stock ride height with 17's on it. Any type of feed back will be appreciated.

255-40-20's = 28" tall & work well on 20x8.5" wheels up front. 295-40-20's = 29.3" tall & work well on 9.5-10" wide rear wheels. BF Goodrich, Toyo, Goodyear, & Dunlop are some popular sport-truck tire choices.

Another possibility is going a little narrower on widths & adding some additional sidewall.... 245-45-20's = 28.68 on the same 20x8.5" up front & 5-5.25" BS. 275-45-20's = 29.74 & would work well on a 20x9.5". Back-spacing would need to be confirmed w/someone having a similar truck. Best guess would be 4.5-5" BS should be about right.
