Hi Guys,
I'm trying to wrap my brain around why two sizes of the same brand and model tire, LT275/60/20 and LT275/70/18, both ~ 33" tires, have an inch difference in approved rim width (7.5-9.5" for the 20's and 7-8.5 for the 18's). Exact same weight ratings etc. Everything is the same but size.
I have these tires on 20x9 at the moment and they're wide for size giving me plenty of protection for my rims.
Planning on running the 18's on 18x9 wheels. Penny for your thoughts?
