Leveled my '08 last night..need help for 305/55/20

[Jtessmer88]

So i discovered both my lower ball joints were about to fall out last night...so i replaced both lower control arms and installed my CCM kit while it was all apart. Heres how shes looking now.


I want to do 20's and 33's....and I just happen to get a kickass discount at firestone from work. Problem is...only two sizes i can get are 275/60/20 All Terrains or 305/55/20 MT's. Of course I want MT's but will a 305/55/20 work? I am going to be buying new wheels so keep in mind I can do any offset I want.

Should work but will require some modification, check out this thread. MTs will have a deeper tread than an AT as well.

The 305/55/20 will work but I'd go with a 275/60/20, the 275/60/20 is skinnier and have less surface area for better mpg, and the 275/60/20 should be cheaper,

The 305/55/20 will work but I'd got with a 275/60/20, the 275/60/20 is taller but skinnier will fill wheel well more and have less surface area for better mpg, and the 275/60/20 should be cheaper,

not really worried about cost.... i dont want a "weak looking" truck lol

I think the offset of the rims/ the stance is more important then what tire. You put mud tires on rims that have a high offset and it looks lame... You get a low offset wheel so it gives that wide mean stance and it looks good. But with a low offset wheel you can't have huge tires without lots of cutting. I would do 20x10 -24 offset with some 275/55/20 m/t or all terrain tires.

Something like this. And I realize this isn't your body style I was just showing stance/rims tires

You can run 305/55R20 on high offset 20x9 wheels and trim a good deal to clear. Maybe small or large norcal fender mod along with chopping up bumper brace corner. Can't do wide without shorter tires on a 20x10.
