Well here is the deal. I am in need of some tires soon, I think I an set on the Terra Grabber. So my question is, I have leveled my truck (2005 quad 4X4) and was looking to go with 305/55/20 but I just saw a 2012 at one of my accounts that was leveled with 35's on it with stock 20in wheels with no spacers (witch I do not want to put on). So can I go with a 325/60/20 on stock 20in wheels? Or are the 305's the way to go? And on a second note. I am thinking of some wheels like the KMC Monster in a 20 by 10. but if I go with wheels to what offset or backspace do I need? And what is the offset and backspac of the stock wheels? Thanks for the help on this one.

Cant help ya on the aftermarket wheels...

But 35s WILL fit on your truck with stock 20s.

But I do think if you go with a 10" wide rim you will rub some

yes a 35" tire will fit on stock wheels, not sure on a 325 wide tire not rubbing though(maybe look at 35x12.5x20?)

if you go to a 20x10 and push the wheels out you open up for the wheels to rub the fenders when turning.

What are the stock rims anyway? 20 by 9? With what offset?

And I know. The only reason I thought 325 was the terra grabber doesn't come in a 35. The 325 is 35.4/12.8/20

what kind of effect will going to a 35 from the stock 275/60/20 have on the truck. Not to concerned with the speedo but more the feel of torque, 0 to 60 time, and the big one MPG's.

0-60 will go down and so will your MPG. Bigger rotating mass, heaver tire
