Smaller but Aggressive

whats up guys. Anyone have some 285's or 305's with only 50 or 55 widths on there 20 in wheels? I mean I like the wider ones but jsut dont want to invest in all that. I seen Toyo Open country 285/50/20 for about 205 a piece. Im guessing they would just be rather skinner but taller right?

I think you are confused on how tire sizing works. The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters. The second number is the aspect ratio, or relationship of the tires height to it's width.
For instance, a 285/55-20 is essentially a 33x11.50-20 tire while a 305/55-20 is basically a 33x12.50-20 tire.

Well thank you... I've only had since may and love it.

Really like how clean your truck looks.. you def need some bigger tires. What other mods you got planned?
