wheel diameter will not matter with overall fitment. what ultimately matters is tire size (in general) and wheel offset.

stock, you should be able to clear any 305/55R20 which is still a 33" bit wider, will look better and you can get an aggressive M/T.

you wont loose much drivability because you wont increase much of the overall diameter.

that's the size im going with when my tires wear out

Cool thanks that's good to know, I have tried to research but I have not found anything solid some people say it rubs others say it doesn't… so I was debating on what to do... What is a good tire if I just stick with the original wheels?

im gonna go with the nitto terra grapplers but im gonna opt for a 20x9 with 0mm offset for a bit of a wider looking stance

If you want to keep the stock wheels and are level, run something like the 275/65R20's. It's a 34" tire and they look great on leveled trucks. When you start gettin' wider in tire size is when you need to consider wheel spacers or rims with 0 or negative offset.

there are several members on here running the 305/55 on the stock wheel with no issue. and a lot locally too.

I didn't know you could run anything over 295 on the +19 offset Sport wheels. Not like 305 is a huge difference. Good to know.

yup, a lot of local trucks are running Toyo M/T's on the stock Longhorn wheel too. which is the same specs as the sport

That's very interesting. Not to thread jack... but can I fit 305/55/20 on my stock Express wheels that are 20x9, without doing anything else???

My current tires are 275/60/R20.

Just new tires OR new wheels and tires?
