Default 4/7 with 285/50/20's or 285/45/20's?

I have 55's on it now. I just think the 45's may give me to much fender gap. Any photos or thoughts would help. For the longest I thought the 50's would be perfect..... Thanks guys

The 45's will be close to my stock tire dia. I like the 275/45/20 myself. The 285/50 will be too tall.

nice drop illmattic love it looks really nice... not trying to hijack this thread... but i have 20's on right now.. on the stock denali tyre which is 285 50 20.. going 18's soon thinking performance wise , 1/4 times and shedding weight... but i think it will look ugly im now willing to lower it more than 2/2..

this is what im thinking of

a notch is not really needed unless you tow or haul anything. I have a bag kit ready to go. I think I may notch it as well just for that extra 1" or so.


Quick Reply: 4/7 with 285/50/20's or 285/45/20's?
