I have been searching wheel and tire size combo for about a month now, and I am so confused on if it will fit or not, how much sticking out past fender etc. So I turn to the forum for advice. I have a 2013 Sport Crew Cab 4x4 stock suspension.

I am looking at a set of MotoMetal wheels that are 20x10 -24. I am trying to find an all terrain tire to fit without rubbing. I also trying to get it to poke out past the fender about an inch (1"). at first I was looking at 305/55 but afraid that it will rub and/or stick out past the fender too much. 275/60 seems like I would be stretching the tire. What do you all recommend on a good tire size?

Thanks in advance!

There are a ton of really good wheel offset and tire size comparison programs out on the web ... Plug in what ya got, and what you want, and it will show you the differences

Id be okay with 2" as well. I just want to stay away from 3-4" past the fenders. 295/60 seems like it would be a happy medium between a 275 and 305 tire.

These are 18x9s with -12mm offset and 35x12.50s. They stick out plenty far for me and keep the sides of the truck dirty.
-24mm will stick out farther.


Also a wheel B.S. offset chart.

@Marsch Absolutely, glad to be able to help. I am actually looking to get rid of this setup, going to a 17" wheel and 35's.

No sir, I bought from a local shop but I didn't have the side profile shot so I grabbed it off my submission to custom offsets. Just FYI, I also have the 5100's at 2.8.

I just noticed your post about being leveled. Im curious if I could still fit the 295 without being leveled with the same wheel as you?

That I am not certain about but I would be willing to bet that you would need to level it. I am sure others could confirm.
