Default New wheels!!!

I just traded for a truck that had some 20s on it so I decided to put them on my 2000 silverado. Tell me what you guys think. And overlook that the truck is filthy please.

They look pretty beefy!!! They look like 285's or 295's. Overall that's a pretty sharp truck.

Yeah they are 285/50s. Do you think there is too much tire? It is a stock height 2wd.

Thanks for the compliments guys. My only concern was that there was too much tire.


I think the recommended tires are like 275/45 which are 29.x inches tall?

I don't think there's too much tire, but that's just my opinion...I like a little sidewall in the fenderwell. I'm hoping to eventually get some Gibb's 20's with that exact same size tire myself eventually (and lower it a tad...2/4 or 3/4)

If you step down to the 275/45 make sure you drop it.......they look funny with that tire at stock height. It looks great with a 2/4

Well, as far as the 2/4 drop goes...I just took a 2/4 drop off last year because I wanted it at stock height again. So, I think I will just stay with this combo and leave it at the height it is now.
