305/55/20 Tire and Level

[tomsquad418]

Regardless I'm doing 2.5/1 level kit...want to rub stock rims and would prefer not to run a wheel spacer

Its not, 1" rear spacer is lifting the truck and thereby clearing the upper shock bolt and stopping the rubbing of the upper plastics...... but i may be wrong.....maybe he put a 1" rear wheel spacer.... lets ask him.... @NGAneer ......esplain plse

Yes. 1" rear coil spacer, not wheel spacer. When the truck would articulate over a large bump (think 90* turn into a steep driveway), the top of the tire leans in towards the body and would rub the liner covering the shock bolt. I know the spacer made a difference in the frequency of the rub because of the greater articulation needed to make it rub. Flipping the shock bolt reduces the severity because it took away the high point of the bolt threads being just behind the liner. Instead of 1-1.5 inches of nut and bolt thread stl king out, there's just 0.5 inch of bolt head sticking out.

Now I'm debating between a 285/60 and 305/55

Decisions decisions

My next will be 295/60 if I can find a set that's not outrageous. 285s wouldn't be bad.

I was just about to ask if a 295/60/20 would fit on the new body style with a 2.5/1".

Really want something thats around 33.5+ x 12" wide

Trying to keep a tame look and aggressive stance with stock rims

 

[tomsquad418]

I just don't want anything that will look like pizza cutters

I'm looking for something similar. The 305s are great, especially on width but now that I'm basically at 3/1, it needs more height.

 

[tomsquad418]

All the shops I talk to keep telling me they won't work well on stock rims or will billow over or I'll need aftermarket rims or spacers..however it seems people with ford f150s or Silverado all have run 305s on stickers. I don't want want anything that looks like pizza cutters

No one will let me test fit tires either so im stuck on sizing
