you can run any size tire you want on there, making it fit is another question. i would stick to a 12.50 wide or narrower though.

What he's saying is a 37x12.50-20 will fit the OEM 20x8.5 inch wheels. The quesion is what are the specs on the truck the tire/wheel is gonna be mounted on?

the stock rims are 20x8.5. i personally feel that is too wide of tire for that rim, ideally that should be put on a 20x10 rim. you can put them on there, but they will wear prematurely.

Could you give a little info on your truck? Is it a 4x4? 4x2? Stock height or lifted?

A 325/60-20 is basically a 35x13.00 tire. That may rub the upper ball joint because of the OEM 20's backspacing. A lot of that will depend on the tire's tread and sidewall design. Aggressive MT's will be worse than most AT's. I'd go with a 35x12.50 at the most.

ok, my #1 choice of tire is the Mickey Thompson ATZ, so I will stop looking at the 35x13.50 and start looking for 12.50's
