Hi Folks,
I am trying to find the right tires for my 2015 All Terrain.
It is lowered 2/3. I don't want A/T type tires, more like Toyo Proxes STii
These are the wheels Foose 20-9.5- + 30 offset
http://www.mhtwheels.com/switch-f158-w-6089.htm
I believe the outer lip of the new rim will be slightly in from stock.
I am hoping to use Toyo ST'S 305-50-20 32" X 12.2.inches,
stock tires are 275-55-20 31.8 x 10.9. inches
Will they fit the front without too much rubbing, if any,
and will they have the right stance?
If not any suggestions??

It's kinda easy to tell if it's going to rub and it likely will with those much wider tires.
Just turn to full lock and see how much room you have, it's likely already pretty tight as it is. I'd go with a 285 or so max if you are wanting a slightly wider tire without risking the rub on aftermarket rims.

I have 305/50/20's on my 2wd 99 at stock height in front which is pretty low and I had to trim the bumper a decent amount, but I'm also running a wheel with a -19 offset. It seems the newer trucks sit up higher to begin with so you'd probably be fine.

Thanx guys,
My truck is not quite low enough for 285/50/20, it would still leave a fair gap between the tire and body.
285/55/20 would work but is not available in a Proxes st or similar tire.
That's why I was thinking of the 305's.
I will do some measurements and see if I can figure it out.

Fwiw, Stock 275/55/20 rubbed the wheel well liners on my truck with the drop while turning, you have got a couple more inches of clearance, so they might be OK depending on the wheel fitment.
