Yeah, that truck looks awesome. If you're wanting that look with 20's, and still be able to tow, I would suggest dropping it 2/4, and getting a helper airbag for the rear. If you did that, I would go with a 275-45, some people get away with running a 285-50 with a 2/4, but I hear a few people complain about rubbing. Just FYI, here is a pic (I think) of a 2/4 with a 285/50..

Default Wheels/Tires

Here are some pictures of my 4WD with a 20" wheel and 275/55/R20 Falken S/TZ 04 tires. I like the tires so far. Seem to be wearing well and the ride/handling is good.http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...Picture680.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...Picture675.jpg

I would not think so. Should look pretty good IMO.

I had 285/50/20 and I have a couple of complaints about that setup. The truck is stock ride height mind you. The steering was floppy and it did scrub under tight turns (parking). But, it looked really well from the side. If you were standing in front of or behind the truck, however, the tires buldged out the sides. Now, I have a 275/45/20. No more buldging of the sides and the steering is crisp as it was with stock wheels and tires. It no longer scrubs. My complaint with these are taht they look to small.... however, truck is stock ride height and I plan on performing a 3/4 drop, so I think it will look better with the drop. Good luck on your choice!
