That's like 34". I don't think that'd work with just a 2" Level. Correct me if I am wrong though.

That's what I am trying to figure out. I'm in the market for tires and want that size I think I will have to upgrade my 2in level to a 2.5 tho

They will fit, you will just have to cut away some of your liner.

I'm pretty sure you'd have to run a minimum of a 4" lift to clear that size without any rubbing.

they fit with rubbing. i am trying to look at sizes that are not LT or E. adds a lot of weight and ride a lot stiffer. just my opinion.

You may want to look into nitto's terra grappler g2. It's 305/55r20. 33" tall and 305 width and it's a P metric XL load tire. Thanks to the fellas on here I learned that today and I think that'll be my new tire. Only other choice I know of would be a 275/60 but it's not very wide.

295/60r20 will fit. Zip ties or cutting the liner will fix the rubbing.

Interesting. That is with a 2.5 level though and I'm 2" I think that will play a decent factor.

thanks. yep knew that one. just a little more tire than i want. wish we could get a 285 or 295 in p or xl.

Just picked up a set of Nitto Terra Grappler G2s in 275/65r20 fit with a 2.5" lift. The ride is not rough, if anything it hits bumps smoother than the stock Goodyear, and handles way better off center. The stock tires feel like driving a marshmallow when maneuvering and have more crashing over rough pavement. I would choose a Nitto or Toyo for the best bang for your buck.

Also note my tires have 40lbs of air or less so they are soft.

If you get a cooper get the at3 trust me...

Thanks for everyone who posted on here, lots of good info gathered.

As much as I want to run a 305/55/20, I think I am going to go with the 1.5" spacers and 275/60. I don't want to rub on anything right now, harmless or not, it's just something I don't want to worry or deal with on a newer truck.

Down the road, when I get sick of these wheels, I will revisit this again and probably get a wheel with a 0 to single digit + offset and run a wider tire then.

smrr1 · July 22, 2015

i know you will post up the pics when done!! what tire?

CptMcSaug · July 22, 2015

Just to note my 275/60/20s with 12mm offset rubbed a little. But so do my 295s lol

I went with the 275-60-20 Toyo Open Country AT2's and while they are a great tire, and ride nice, they are pretty skinny. Maybe the spacers will help but I am heavily considering the 305-55 Nittos in the P/XL now to get the stance I want.
