Default Looking to get 8 lug 20" wheels what size tires? No low profile crap

I have a 2005 ccsb duramax and the tires are wearing out on my truck so I decided to get some new wheels when its time to get tires. I have found the 20" wheels I want but when it comes to the tires I don't know what size to put on them. I want to have a good sidewall hence the title no low profile crap. I have lt285/75/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers on it now and I would like something close to that.

Give me some tire sizes that might be good for me and if you have pics post them up. Thanks!

Me too. I'd like to go a little larger diameter too. Just like an inch. My truck is for towing and it seems all the good towing tires are in 16. What wheels are you looking at?

I'm a simple guy so I like the simple look of the Mazzi Hulk wheels.

So you're OK with going to a taller than stock tire?

Would 50 series be 'low profile'?

I run 305/55/20's on my '08 2500HD and love them. They require some trimming, but they work great. It just so happens that I have a set of Nitto Dura Grappler 305/55/20" tires with under 1,000 miles on them for sale. They're a great tire, but I went back to a set of Pirellis. I was used to how the Pirellis performed.

Shoot me an e-mail at trevor@texas-speed.com if you're interested!
