height or width? you will easily be able to fit 275/55/20 all of the way around, which is the stock SSS tire size

"Width" and trying to stay close to the stock height. I would like at lest 285-295 on the back. A little smaller on the front. Man finding stock SS wheels was no fun. Last year they were at every swap meet not now. Lucky for me I am one here and found a nice set.

That's a 32" tire. Those were rubbing in the front on my truck before I even had a drop.

Do something like 295/45/20 in the rear and 265/50/20 front. thats 11.61" wide in the rear. That's also the same diameter front and back and same sidewall height.
