Kind of think I just need better looking rims.
As of now I looking at droping my 35/12.50/17 to just 33"s as my 35's rub.
Think that when I have more money I will jump to a 20" rim with 35's.
Now the thing is how do I get 20's with a 35" tire to not rub with the 2" leveling kit?

Even though I'm partial to the larger tire small rim, I wouldn't change the combination on moxt o these trucks, if they were mine. These are some nice trucks.

If you go with a 20 don't go no smaller than a 35 that way the tire don't look to low profile

Really?

Which "rule" book did you read that in?

On the flip side, I happen to think (personal opinion, not demand) a 35" tire in general is too tall for a non-lifted 150. Fills up too much of the wheel well. Looks like the individual is trying too hard to have a "big" truck, without going that extra bit and having a lift installed.

305/55-20 IMHO is the perfect size on a leveled truck.

17's r too small. 18's -22's on 35's look good. 22's on 37's. 24's on 38's+.

costy, but hey what do our trucks cost us new? 30grand? 20? id say its worth it. just my two cents.

Well it is all a matter of opinion my opinion is that a 35 is as small as i would go on a 20 just my opinion and i also think that it is ok to put a 35 on a leveled truck looks just fine
Not from any rule book just my opinion on things

Ok, were is a good place to order 20's with 33" to 35" tires.
I can find wheels for a decent price but tires seem to be around $350 a piece!
Thats over double what I can find rims for.
What size should I run on a 2" level kit?
