Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
 

im wondering if i can get 315/35R20s in the rear... looks like everyone tops out at the 295/40s?

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
 

I run 255/35-20 front , 315/35-20'rear truck is dropped 5.5, 7.5

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
 

What kinda backspacing and body work did you have to do to accomplish that?

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
 

No modifications needed, the front and rear are both 5.5 BS

I am getting ready to purchase 255 40 20s and 295 40 20s for my 72. What are your opinions after having the toyo proxies? Traction, tire wear, ride? With a 420 tire wear rating, I'm worried their hard tires that will just get roasted under full throttle.

Looking into this same setup...What width wheels are those? That would make a difference with the placement inside the wells.

fronts are 20x8.5, rears are 20x10

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
 

I've got about 2000 miles on a new set of 255/20-295/20 proxies. No complaints.

My truck sits a lot and these tires seem to hold up well to that too. Some tires will temporarily flat spot really quickly ( like in a few days of sitting ), these don't. The tires aren't excessively noisy and I see no tread wear yet ( rears have been lit up a few times hehe ). Ride? Well, there is only a couple inches of tire sidewall in the front and just a bit more in the rear so YMMV but the tire doesn't seem to have much opportunity to aid in ride quality.

Bennett68C10 what offset and bs are u running im having trouble finding wheels

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
 

Those wheels were 20x8.5 front with 5.25" BS and 20x10 rear with 5" BS. Since they were custom billets I ordered the exact backspacing that I wanted.

Bennett68C10 thanks man they are telling me I need, +20, offset its killing me trying to find 6 lug weels for my truck and still be able to lay out

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
 

Aaronpetty82: I am also wanting to run a 315 tire, however 315 tire recommends minimum 10.5 width wheel. Are yours truly 10" or 10.5"?

Re: What tire sizes everyone running with 20's
 

225/35/20, 295/40/20, bagged no front inner fender wells.

That helps a Lot A Rod! 10x20 wheels are more common than 10.5x20. Thank you!
