These are what 295/60/20s with a 2" level look like, albeit on stock wheels:

I think they fill the wheel wells perfectly
Thanks! I think this is almost exactly what I'm looking for. I've also seen 12.50 thrown out there...that's just a little wider, not taller, correct?

Correct. That 12.5 refers to the width in inches. The size 35x12.50x20(or 17, 18, etc) is pretty much the super generic size for a full 35" tire. The English units for the tires makes sense: 35" tall, 12.5" wide, 20" wheel. The metric system is stupid and complicated lol. I believe a 315/60/20 is the best metric equivalent of a 35x12.5x20. So these 295mm wide tires are going to be a little bit narrower than 12.5". Your truck will look very similar to those, just with the wheels sticking out some more. But I think 295/60/20 is a better size unless you have a full lift because a full 35" tire can look too "stuffed" at times.

was asking because i was hoping to put the mickey thompson baja atz on there and they don't have the 295/60. i definitely like the height of that one though. back to the drawing board. thanks again!

This makes me think you'd be fine with those ATZs

34.5" is a touch smaller and the tires being all terrains and not muds helps a lot actually. I apologize for jumping to a mud tire. You can always run a different tire too, and there are plenty of sizes that look good. You can run the 20x10 wheels with the -12 offset like Deacon and just run a slightly smaller tire too. There are a million different options, but that's the problem!

haha, no worries. i know i like the taller tire and for sure doing a 20" rim. I like the +1 offset to push it out just a bit. Thinking about 35x12.50x20 20x9 +1 and doing those mickeys with black rims....i'll keep ya posted. thanks again!

Do you mean trying to understand his definition was hurting your brain?

That's a good look, and may be right up the OP's alley due to the amount of daily miles traveled. 35's will likely require some trimming with a 2" and will look stuffed in there. And as others have mentioned your performance will suffer without some gearing adjustments. Will - I look forward to seeing pics of whatever you decide!

haha it breaks up the monotony! and i myself am from a one stop light town, where the towns around me all had graduating classes of ten or less and i still have to reread some of the words! but i welcome the challenge! it reminds me of the brain tricks where if the first and last letter of a word are in the correct spot, all the other letters can be switched yet you can still read it just fine!

Believe, that'll just make it worse! And then all the stuff you write won't make sense the next morning haha.

It's so much more work to write in and read hillbilly speak than it is normal English!
