Default Pic Request; 275/45/20 on Crew Cabs

Picking up a set of OEM Silverado "LTZ" 20s and debating on tire size.

Truck is an 04 Crew lowered 2" or 3" in the rear (to level it, somewhat )

Would like pics of 275/40/20 & 275/45/20. I can find 275/55 pics all day long, but I cannot decided on what height to run. I don't plan on lowering the truck anymore than 2/4, if anymore at all. I think the 275/40 will be too small, but 275/55 will look like a 4WD. 275/45 seems like a happy medium.

Any and all pics/input appreciated. Thanks!

That's fine, a relative comparison to aspect ratio is really what I'm after.

You are right the 275/40 will be too small and 275/55 rubs. I ran 265/50 with my 2/4 for a happy medium that wouldn't rub.

Im going to be 2/4 soon on a 4x4 and Im running 285/50-20 and at full lock i have a little over an inch of clearance from the inner wheel well linning. Tire height is around 31"-31.5". This is with just 2" lower in the rear for now. cant see going another 2" making any difference.

I dont have a crew cab, But I do have some pics of my 275/45/20s with a 2/4 drop and 3/6 drop for your reference.. If it were me Id do a 275/55 with the drop you have now or a 2/4, if you were plannin to do 3/6 id say 275/45. 275/55 will fill the gap in much better without looking off roadish..

2/4 drop



3/6 drop

Is your crew a 2 or 4 wheel drive? Makes a difference in trying to figure out your actual ride height and clearance for tires.
