So I got an awesome deal on a set of 20" 2014 Laramie wheels for my 2014 2500 Tradesman CTD.

Looking at staying at stock height for towing. Trying to stay away from sagging at the rear.

The tire I am considering is a 295/60R20. Being a Toyo AT2 or Nitto Terra Grappler 2.
From the Specs, it looks like the Nitto and Toyo Max out @ 80PSI which is what my rear tire sensors are calibrated for. Not sure if I should look for a tire that can hold more than 80?

OR
285/65R20 BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2

Any issues with fitment with this size tire on stock height?

How much did you get your factory 20s for? I am looking to sell my factory Laramie 20s to put 18s and want to know a decent price to ask.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you! So I wont say

Depending on condition of course, ive seen wheels alone ranging from $750-900. With good tires I've seen for $1300-$1600

80 lbs is the standard max psi for a 10ply LT tire, you won't find any higher without going to an HD tire.

The two tires you're looking at are an 11.5/ 34 and an 11.2/34.5 respectively. I believe either should fit on OEM wheels. What is your stock tire size to see how that compares?

I am thinking about selling mine for about $700 only because one has a very small nick on of them that is visible if you get real close.

the OEM tire is 275/70R18 which is 33.2" I believe?
Im really liking the new BFG all terrain which is the 34.5" height.

Should I be alright having them @ 80PSI in the rear? I know the front calls for 60

I would think the 285/65/20's would fit just fine, stock size 20 is 285/60/20.

Looks good! I almost thought they were aftermarket wheels with the centers painted. I actually considered doing the opposite, leaving the hoops chrome and the rest black.

I would think the 285/65/20's would fit just fine, stock size 20 is 285/60/20.

I think ill go with the 285/65 just because of that BF Goodrich tire. I really like the look. Im just wondering how they'll hold up

Ok so I got the tires in and installed! Gotta say, I love it!

Here they are just on the wheel at home

And finally installed on the truck

Over all, the truck got taller by 1/2" over the original set up. Fills in the wheel well just right in my opinion. No rubbing at all, perfect clearance.
Ill clean up the truck and post better pics later. :)

I think im pretty happy with the way it looks that im not gonna plasti-dip anything.

Truck is @ stock height and will probably stay that way since I will be towing. No rub whatsoever

I did notice some slight vibrations with my Original tires and wheels, it wasn't consistent and im getting it the same with these. Again, its not consistent which im just hoping its the truck on certain areas of the road (highway speed) Usually over 65mph
