Thoughts on new wheels?

[X-RunnerMike]

Currently in the process of buying a set of raceline renegade 5's. 20/9. I don't have any plans of lowering the truck, curious to see what the biggest size tire I can run without any rubbing issues would be.

I wouldnt go any taller than 28"....27" is stock.

I think u will find that after u mount the 20s u will want a drop and the gap looks goofy

 

[hotrodt]

I'm not a fan of 20"s I had them on my truck for a minute. But didn't like the rubber band tire. I like to see some tire. I personally think 18"s are perfect. Go with a 28"in rear and 27" in front. Or 28" all around. 18by 10.5 rear and 18 by 9 in front.

Bah! Considering a 45 series? Dare I go as high as 50?

I have 20x8.5's w/ 245/45/20's on my truck AND the SS/XII drop kit. No issues.

I think im going to pull the trigger and get 20X8.5 with a 255/50/20 for my tires. I refuse to lower the truck as I hate low-rider crap. All my friends have always been into "mini's", and I always thought how retarded they were. I like the fact that my truck is more sport than mini and plan on keeping it that way.

Its gonna sit alot higher because of the 20's. A XII performance kit wont make it look like a lowrider, it will basically bring it back to the height it was when it had the stock tires. And it'll handle alot better.

Please don't get a 50 series tire it will look ridiculous

It wont sit higher on 20"s tire height will stay same just less side wall..

Id stay with a nice 18" so you still have some tire...20s don't look good unless you lower it...just my .02.

But he is going to go with 20's and a higher than stock sidewall.

Is all good.

In my opinion, if you're doing 20's, the XII drop will look good, not too low but it won't look like a scared cat all up in the air either. But it's all about what you wanna do and what you'll be happy with.

Yup. I'm gonna try and do the steel leafs w/ those springs when I drop.

 

[Mortifer]

I like the look of my 20's, handles very well, no need to slow for driveways or bumps.
bone stock suspension, 275/40 rear and 245/40 front.

See sig line for pic.
