Cool Help... tire size

I am ordering centrerline snipers, 20" to replace the eagles.
the eagles and yoko combo is not right for my 2wd truck, tires are 31.4" tall
and rims have wrong offset [tires out past the fender well]
so i am going to get 20"s and either hankook ventus st or yoko avs st but am not sure which size to get.
the oe 255/70/16 is 30.1" tall.
the ventus 295/45/20 is 30.5" tall
the ventus 275/45/20 is 29.8" tall
the yoko 295/45/20 is 30.5" tall
basically i want the truck to look like a 2wd not 4wd and i have http so i can reprogram for the tire size.
so ... what size would you think would look best on this truck.

Dave

Yeah 275/45/20 would look good with a drop,but the 295 would look pretty good for stock height. I've seen some trucks with that set up, damn the 295 have some meat on them.

Is that wheel 8" or 8 1/2" wide? I think 295's need a wider rim personally.

Those should be 8 inches wide. I got 285/50's on my Centerlines and they look good. A 295 is like .4 inches wider. It should look pretty good with the 295/45's.

The one's I saw had too much "bubble" for me, I like them to look more squared.

You need at least a 9.5" width wheel for the 295/45's
