I got a slightly better deal because Machiavelli wanted those rims on a Chevy truck...Thanks for the heads up on the 11 inches. I had talked to a guy who widens rims and he said I should buy the tire first and bring the rim to him so he could match it perfectly but suggested anywhere from 10.5 - 12 inches.

I might be confused at this point (kinda dehydrated atm lol), but I believe Michelin says 11-13 for these. I went with 12 for the widest contact patch. Are your rims 3 piece now?
It was painful to be sure. In the end, though, the other options weren't very appealing either (back half the truck, do a custom 4-link, etc, plus some 17 or 18s for rubber this wide, or a custom 20). Once you add all that up, this was probably the cheaper way.

Anywho, I really like how yours fit and sit on the truck! Congrats.

Yep those are one piece.
Mine don't have stock back spacing (probably obvious lol) but they are still kind of close to the springs. I can fit the tip of my finger between the sidewall and the spring (but also having checked the pressure from when the shop mounted the tires -- might be low or high).
These are Michelin PS2s 335/30 YR20s. They also make a 345/50 (I think) in 20, but those will stick out (even more hehe).
As I recall the stock SSS rims are 9", so I'd just have him add 3" and adjust the backspacing to fit.
