Are there "aggressive looking" tires for 20" rims?

Swatem · Jun 3, 2013

Hello everyone

I'm new to the forum and to 4x4 trucks for that matter. All I've done so far is debadge it and I'm having a Flowmaster put on this week (hopefully). I'm stumped on tires though even after reading the sticky's and other peoples post.

My question is if I purchase new 20" rims are there "aggressive looking" tires for this size I can get, if the only lifting I'm doing is the front leveling kit. All I can find is "normal" looking tires. When I say aggressive looking I'm referring to the style of the nice 35's I've seen on here but I believe those are usually on 18" rims. (not sure if aggressive is the right term)

If there are, and someone has this setup can I see some pics?

Truck is a 2013 Ram 1500 Express

Thanks all

These are Mickey Thompson ATZ's, I also considered nitto trail grapplers. 305/55/20 (33x12.5x20)

The majority of people on here have 20's just get on a tire vendor website and check them out. There is literally TONS. Too much too list.
My favorite looking is the toyo MT's though.

i also have toyo open county MT's. Mud tires are about as aggressive as you are going to get. You can also get an A/T tire which will be a good compromise between mud tires and street tires

Wow, thx. I think what I've been doing is limiting myself on the rim width when looking at the rims, then not finding the tires because of that.

Do most people run the 33x12.5x20?

Not necessarily. If you get rims with a negative offset you can run 35x12.5x20 with just a leveling kit. I kept my stock rims and put 295/60R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers on. They're about a half inch smaller than a 35. It's all in what you like

You'll need 1/4" spacers to get a 12.50 wide on a 4th gen with factory rims. There is no playing room between tire and upper control arm.

GlOcKnRaM · Jun 4, 2013

Learn from me..if you were to do 35x12.50 on just a level you would either need to do some trimming like I did or run spacers like mentioned above!

Does anyone make a good hub-centric spacer?
Not just a bolts in between the wheel and hub crap $20 spacer?

Motorsport-tech built my custom hub and rim centric adapters. They do spacers too and would likely have them on the shelf. Lot's of places have spacers if you are not changing bolt patterns or the diameter of the wheels (which I don't believe you are)

I think this is what I'm looking for. The same size rim as factory with those style tires. I think I will look for a 20" under 12.5 to avoid the spacers, offset and such and then match up the tires from the links you guys gave me. Thanks a lot everybody.

I was gonna do the motorsport tech or whatever set up. They look like some serious spacers. A lot of it is the build material the cheaper ones are a cast which makes me sick to think about running on my truck. I ended up with the rcx onces and never had any vibes and was happy with the performance from them for the 70 I had in them.

Most of the stuff I keep finding is 12.5. Lets say I had a 4 or 6 inch suspension lift (because the more I look the more I want

) Can I run the 12.5 width or do I still need a spacer or offset rim?

You still would need wheels with less offset to get 12.5" wide tires to fit

Sharp Charge · Jun 6, 2013

Like these??

Would -12 offset be fine or deeper?
