Tire confusion????

[jeffawats]

I have looked at many posts and I havent found a real clear answer.I want to run a 305/50/20 on OEM polished sport wheels I have 1.5" wheel spacers and am leveled with rear lowering springs 18 QC 4wd. I am also adding OEM fender flares does anybody run this setup or able to direct me to the proper resources for an answer.If I order the tires and mount one up to test fit I wont be able to return it.

I currently have 305/55/20s on mine with Bushwacker OEM type fender flares and aftermarket 20x9 wheels. Mine have a +18 offset and it fits perfect without spacers.

305/55/20 +18 , no issues. Slight rub at full lock, but not on any sheetmetsl or fender. Just inside plastic.

looks great thanks MAJ_Charlie

Thanks. Still working on more mods

Not sure about running 305/50s though. You'll loose 1" in tire height from stock size (275/60/20) whereas running 305/55s will put you .2" over stock tire height. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.[/ The problem is I wanted more of a sport/street style tire and the 305/55s are mainly M/T and A/T tires which left me with going to a shorter tire to get what I'm looking for.

ordered a set of 305/50's yesterday. will test fit one tire with a blanket underneath to check clearance.Just in case I have to return them

 

[jeffawats]

my 305/50's showed up yesterday ,can't wait to get one test fit hopefully all clears well they are wide as hell compared to the stockers

They are very wide. I found my rub, not on plastic. I make slight contact with my track bar at full lock. My sidewalls have aggressive lugs, so not worried.
And before anyone makes a comment about the CV angle...the truck is on jackstands, suspension at full droop.
