Help me choose, too!

My 1998, with 20" wheels. well? Should I keep the front tires and lower the truck or keep the rear wheel height and drive on? I can't decide. The fronts just look small!

Your thoughts please!

Kinda looks funny with the back kicked up

I would stay with the larger tires, the cover with low profile tires looks out of place to me.

could you lower it with the larger tires? without rubbing too much i mean.....cuz i think that would look real good fill that wheel well up perfectly and you would still have that nice side wall

BIGGER it is! Thanks!!

I was kind of shocked when we put the 20" on the truck, they did look small!! Weird! This thing has some LARGE wheel wells huh!

I think I can lower it probably 2" and it would be alright. Sure would look good. When the front tires are on the truck (Tuesday) I will post a pic and see if you guys think it would be Ok to lower it.

They look small because they are low profile.
you could put 285-70-17's on it and they will be almost an inch larger around than the 255-60-20's. You may want to go with a larger profile 20 to fill the wheel well. larger profile tires will ride nicer as well (not so stiff).

Here is mine on 265-70-17's
