Anyone have pics of an OBS with 20s with high profile tires. Something like 55-70R's? The relation would be similar to the stock tires on the newer Chevys dodges or fords.
I am trying to get a sense of what this would look like with stock suspension.

Thanks

you realize that 55-70r is a height proportion based on the WIDTH of the tire.. so what width tire are you thinking.. 265...285... 305... etc plus the rim diameter to make the total tire size..

so if a tire is 265/55-20.. this is how the math works.. the width is 265 then 55% of that width is the side wall is 145.75 plus the 20 (rim)"508mm" plus the oposite side wall

so (145.75x2)+508=799.5 mm or 31.47 x 10.5 inches

i have 285/65-20 if that helps you out any.. these are = to a standard 35x11.5-20 for a comparison..

your width is a key component in how tall a side wall height is going to be and that determines the overall height..

hop this help man

Yes, I am aware it's a height proportion, but I do apprecitate the actual math on this, I can use that in the future.

I was thinking in the range of 275 or 285 /60-20.

275/55/20 stock height 4X4

Might look a little goofy because I was standing closer to the front which makes the front tires look bigger.
