What do you have... Lift? Level? Bilsteins?

And any rubbing at full lock?

I'm definitely interested to see how that works out for you. I was considering that same tire, but figured I didn't want to risk having to get spacers if it rubbed. I just got 275/65R20 GoodYear All Terrain Adventure w/Kevlar tires installed today (34.1"x11")...much smaller than the ones you put on. If the specs were correct that I read online it is something like 35.4"x12.3", which is a little taller and wider than the metric size would suggest.

Congrats

I've gotten in the habit of locating my wheel lock key anytime I take it to a garage and they have to mess with the wheels. Been through that before. Truck looks great, that blue is sharp!

Those look great on your truck. I'd like those but I drive to many miles on pavement so I'm goin' with Terras. That doesn't look stuffed at all either for a level and 35's. Can't wait to see more pics. :)

Looks awesome!

My plan is to do bilsteins at 2.1 also... I might opt for 285 65r20's on stock rims. You've given me piece of mind seeing that the 295's fit!

Thanks! I agree on the driving more pavement then actual off road but I'm hoping to get at least 40k out of them.



here are the Pics more to come when i have some time!

Sweeet. How does it ride? Bumpy? Noisy?

The road noise is there and present at 50mph above. I feel like the truck has an over all better ride to it than the other pos tires I had before (some brand called mastercraft) it's not bumpy at all but now I would to do a gear swap and some new shoes do that they don't rub

Yes, it rubs at full lock other than that its all good. does anyone know what the factory offset the chrome clads are and if I where to change rims what would be a good offset that sticks out the least and not rub the control arm.

Believe OEM offset on are +18 or +19. I hear people talk about -12 for 12.5" wide tires. You're about 11.6", I'd think you would be cool with a 0 offset.
