I am now looking into going with a 275/60/20 as I recently found out Revos are available in this size as well. I may have to crank the torsion bars up front a little to clear the 33" tires but that is very do-able. I have found some pics of Cooper LTZ (btw that is a good looking tire too) in this size and I like the way they look but they are on factory Tundra and Dodge Ram wheels. Anyone know the width of those wheels off the top of their head?

Just ordered my wheels. 20x8.5 polished stingrays and will be going with a 275/60/20 Revo (buddy of mine is a Bridgestone dealer otherwise I would probablly go with the Cooper LTZ).
I also talked to the rep about some special wheels for the truck.

After about a 6 week wait, I finally got the wheels in and installed on the ole 'hoe. 
I ended up going with the Cooper LTZ after all in a 275/60/20.
I know it's dirty. I will get some better pics later once I get her cleaned up.

That's the beauty of a pewter truck. It really dosn't show dirt that bad. I am just glad my Tahoe dosn't look like a soccer mom mobile any more.
I enquired about a 5" wide 16" diameter wheel and he said they could custom make them and the price was a little cheaper that a set of Bogarts, however, the since 9.5" wide is a standard hoop, the rears would be significantly cheaper. So I am considering a street/strip 16" combo with some MT radials to leave one set of wheels on instead of swapping street and track wheels all the time. I have some other areas to concentrate on before I do that though.
