It's coming along slowly but none the less it's coming along. I'm having a hard time picking a tire size 33s seem a little to small 35s look a little too "stuffed" for me so how about 295 60 20s? I did some math an I think they come out to 34 11.5s. What do you guys think?

Two days after I bought it at work.

295/60/20 would look good but you will have some rubbing. Might need 1/4" wheel spacers

Looks awesome. Thanks for the pics, it shows me that if I add the pa 3" BL (already leveled) it doesn't look ridiculous with stock tires. I'll probably drive around like that until I add wheels/tires at a later time.

You should measure the front end of that stock SLT (ground to bottom of fender) and post what it is

I like the stance of your truck. Now it, deserves a bigger and more aggressive set of tires.

Stock slt from ground to fender well is about 36.5 I will measure mine later on today. It's an outdoorsman so supposedly it sits about .5" higher than a regular slt.

That's what I was thinking glock but I'm going to run the stock wheels for a while I was hoping I wouldn't have to cut studs with 295s but ill wait an see. Maybe later in the year ill switch to some 20x10s with 35s. I'm really liking the new rock star 2 wheels with the paint to match accents in them.

Cut studs?....just wait and do wheels and tires together, that way you won't have to change tires twice if you really want to run 35's!!

To put 1/4 wheel spacers on so the 295s or 35s will clear with my 3rd gen 20s I would have to trim the studs right?

The reason for the wait on the rims is the cost an I don't wanna be the guy that drive the lifted truck with little tires all summer long lol plus I'm so impatient.

I don't think you'd have to, never heard of anyone having to! If you did, it'd be news to me lol

I went with the 295/60/20s Trail Grapplers (yes same size as JJ) on my 2nd gen with 3rd gen 20s. Really like the fit. They now sit in my garage :(

Truck looks amazing! Now I'm sure I want to go with the 3" PA lift on top of my 2.5" level because that looks great. Good work!
