Tire Question!
Hey guys...
I want to replace my current tires with a wider street tire. I have the stock 20 inch rims (which I am powder coating black!) and plan on a 3/5 drop. Whats the widest tire I can fit without rubbing?? I would like recommended sizes... and I'm not a huge fan of side wall. The 275/55/20 are much too offroadish for my street truck! Thanks!

As Tylus said, wheel offset is a big factor. Mine are also 305-50-20 (see below link to my gallery). I believe you will be fine with the stock rims.

I have 275 55-20's on mine and love them, drop and all.
Any wider and you're just going for looks. 275 is plenty wide for these trucks. Plus 305's are about 4-10 lbs heavier per tire and produce more rolling friction.
I recommend Toyo Proxies. Cheap, wear like iron, handle great, and ride like a dream. Plus the Proxies S/T II appear to be a real step up (they're new). V rated fun.
