I finally narrowed my wheel/tire combo down and need thoughts, opinions (this means you Grand Tire & Wheel Wizard Wandell), laughs, and looks of "this guy is a tard", anything that will let me know if I did good or not.....bonus money will not be discouraged.

The tires will be Cooper Zeon LTZs in 305/55-20, found them at $145 a pop and this wheel from Tire Rack going at $169 a pop, opinions and jeers appreciated. They will be on a '05 SCab 4x4 XLT currently in stock (aka, just short of boring) configuration soon to be a recipient of a 2" leveling kit. I am not bound to the 20" combo and on the fence between it and a 18" combo.

Oh yea, in case your wondering, learned how to shop from my 16yo daughter who is dying to drive my truck and won't. See, not to stupid.

I like those! THey should look fine with the 33" Coopers.

 

$145 each? Where are you getting the Cooper Zeon LTZ 305/55/20s at for nearly 1/2 price?At that price I may have to pick up a set.

Go to http://www.treadepot.com/, two versions of the same tire, the other goes for $275. Once again, thanks Wandell......I surf in awe of your immense mental giantism and your in my redneck of the woods area, I'm in Augusta. Do any custom work?

 

Oh yeah I see, the 305/50/20 is cheaper than the 305/55/20.
The tire on sale (50 series) is a 32" and the more expensive tire (55 series)is a 33".
That extra inch of diameter is expensive.

 

Didn't see that, my eyes were bigger than my sanity and the insatiable desire I have to mod everything in sight took over. I need to take this one step at a time. I am currently lifting my old and faithful 96 Explorer and thinking solid axle swap out and rebuilding my El Camino SS with a Camaro SS LS1 drivetrain. Also building a couple of custom pistols and AR based rifles at the moment too.....it sucks to be retired sometimes.

 

Sweet wheels BTW.
