Smokin, did you have your bumper painted body-color as well (top & bottom).

My 20's are 8 inches wide and I have 285/50. They stick out way too much for my tastes. I'm going with a narrower tire next time.

I have 285/50 on 18x8.5 with no fitment problems what so ever. I have exceded my bandwitdth this month so I had to attach a pic. These are with the old Yokohama AVS tires and Hotchkis 2/4.

That looks good ... I think I'll go 285/50 all around. I wish they made a 275/50 ... oh well. I'd really like the sidewall height to be around 132mm or so ... like the Lightning trucks, but I'll just have to settle with 285/50 (sidewall height of about 140mm).
