Any L owner runnin 275/45/20?

Yet it comes up again hehe. Talked to one of my local dealers and he said it was be a bad choice running 295/40/20 on the L. Why i dunno. I want to lower profile so itll look good and all just need to make sure im making right choice on picking between the 275/45/20 and the 295/40/20. What is the riding condition of each and wear and such? And if anyone has any pics of ethier one on the rim on their truck id appreciate it

As far as 22's i am running 285x35x22's.

Do you have a drop kit?

I would think you would want a 285x40x20 or something maybe.

275/45/20 with a 3/4 drop

The ride was better than the 295's, the look is about the same, I could hook better on the 275's, and the 275's are DIRT CHEAP!

Go with the 275/45/20 Goodyear GT II's

Minimum rim width for a 295/40-20 is 10". Most 20" wheels, including the replicas, are less than that. 275/45-20 are okay on a 9" wheel.

Yes, I know MANY people run 295/40's on their 9" replicas. I'm just pointing out the manufacturer's specifications.

I just put on 20" Centerline "Lexi" wheels yesterday

I do notice a smoother ride, believe it or not, with the 285/50/20
GY GTIIs - yes I know they are not Z rated, but I don't drive like that anyway. The 50 series gives the L an aggresive hotrod look that I personally like.

pics soon!
