rims and tires
#1
#3
Just mounted a set of 305/55r20s (33x12.50/20) Nitto terra grappler ATs on my 08 mega cab yesterday, i'll get ya a pic tonight. I have a two inch leveling kit, from hellbent steel at Dodge - Products. The rims are 20x10, i'm not sure what the offset is.
They fill the wheel wells, no rubbing in lvl lot but i'm suspicious about it under compression.

295/20s (35") and yes, with the control arm eccentrics full forward it does rub on the rear corner of the fender flare just a tad under turning compression. I plan to install Thuren arms and 3" coils at some point to alleviate that problem and beef the front end up bit more soon as the original springs and arms start to go:

295/65 20 should be what he has and that would be 35x11.50 20s if that helps laramie
295 width of tire in mm
65= aspect ratio or 65% of 295mm = side wall height of 191.75 mm x 2 (one on each side of wheel) 191.75mm x 2 = 383.5mm
20= wheel diameter in inches
383.5mm / 25.4mm (number of milimeters per inch) = 15 inches + 20 for wheel = 35 total height of tire or diameter
width is roughtly 11.50
295mm / 25.4mm = 11.61 inches
This is the best tool i have found, you can compare two diffrent tires and see what they would be in inches.

Yeah, forgot the aspect, actually 60, so 295/60-20. They were supposed to measure diameter at 34.8" new, IIRC. They did not rub until after I put the fender flares on. 35" is going to be right around the max you can go with a stock backspaced wheel. It's a good idea to get the longer arms to keep the rest of the front suspension properly dimensioned, even with just 2" lift. You may not be able to get it lined up depending on the ball joints and the shop doing it.
