Default New Wheels

Thanks to 1Bad02 I was able to get me a new set of 20"s. They have 275/45's on em which are a lil short for my test. But maybe it'll convince me to get a drop sooner. 2/4 should be dandy. The only cool thing about 45's is that they yell at me when i punch it at 40.
Heres a couple quick shots i took when i went to the store. It was cold so I'll try to get some better shots tomorrow.

I'd be game if you was from around here and they had the tread i need for winter. The Kumho's on the back have a nice a/t style tread that should be suitable for the snow, the only downside is the tire diameter. a 45 is gonna make it spin easier.

What i really want is 285 or 295/55/20

around the rim where the spokes meet the rim are there beads? like how a lot of wheels have simulated nuts/bolts

I like those wheels, almost look Foose'ish from the photo

Looks good, a drop would really set them off though.

no it don't have beadlock sims. I was in a hurry and it was cold when i took the pics so sorry about the quality. For now, here's the truck they came off of witha 3/4 drop. which is for sale in the classified section for a nice price.

Looks good, and will look great with a drop. I don't think you want a 55 series tire. A 285/55 is 32.3" tall, and a 295/55 would be 32.8" tall(not sure they even make that size), both of which are WAY too much tire for a 2wd truck. A 285/50 (31.2" tall) would be the most I'd put on there. The 275/45's are 29.7" for comparison. 265/50 is another size to consider.
