Did a little more looking this morning. As of right now 245 section width is the narrowest tire Google can find in 20". If anybody knows better then let's hear it.

Normally tire manu's recommend anywhere from a 205 up to a 245 section width on a 7.5" wide wheel rim. Different tire models carry differing recommendations though so keep that in mind. We should be good with a 245 or 255, even if it looks a little blocky or balloned. Surely it won't look as bad as a 235/85-16 on a 16x6 wheel.

I am also somewhat concerned about the overall width of the rear wheels / tires. Wondering if the Eagle 20's have enough offset to keep the tires inside the fenders on a low truck.
