Looking to go from 285/75/16 to 275/60/20 or 305/55/20 or 275/65/20 but am concerned I may run into rubbing issues while at full suspension articulation if I don't get the offset/backspace just right. I have a 01 4x4 with 2" spacer with new coils and shocks in the front and stock setup in the rear

Can anyone tell me what the biggest tire is that will not run with a 20" rims? I've searched around the sight but can't find too much info on a situation like mine. Thanks!

Sorry can't help you. I'm one of those old guys who has no use for those 18-20 inch wheels they put on vehicles these days. They serve no purpose other than looks since trucks are no longer made to be used as trucks.:Rant:

I have 33's with 16's right now and it looks good but bigger rims would be nice, I think. I do use my truck, especially turning hunting season. But I can see where you're coming from

wheel width and bs/offset?


Rim would be 20x9 with 0mm offset for the 20"

But I am also now considering an 18" rim because I have been reading the 20s can be dangerous even with the mild offroad (logging roads) I do during hunting season. But I'm torn because i like the looka of 20s with aggreasive style tires... They would be 18x8 with 0mm offset.

Yeah 8-9 wide 0 offset ~4.5bs is good

Ok sounds good! I'm definitely not trying to push the tires way out, going for just about an inch outside the edge of the truck fenders because I am not trying to destroy my ball joints or steering with tires pushed out 3 or 4 "s lol
