Default Pics of 20s on Stock Height

Just wondering if anyone has pics/info on a 20 inch wheel with 285/50s on a stock height truck. My truck has a 2" drop in the back but thats it.

Also how tall (diameter) is a 20" wheel with 285/50s? Around 30"?

Could I get away with 285/45 and still look good?

Any input is appreciated!

The 285/50/20 tire is going to be right at 31.2 inches in diameter. I'd stay away from a tire that tall. The 285/45/20 would be around 30.1 inches. I would try to find a tire that is around 29-29.5 inches unless your not concerned about performance loss,you allready know the 20 inch wheel will slow you down some.
Have you decided on a wheel? If so, which one?

Later,
Randy

Yeah perf loss isnt a big deal I got those Challengers back from Blake to put ET Streets on. I just wanted a tire that wasn't stupid looking on a near stock height truck.

These are the ones I'm looking at....

That should look good
Any chance you'd let 2 of the challengers go? I need 2 wheels to put some DR's or ET streets on myself(I didnt think about that until I sold mine to Tony).Or do you know anyone that would let 2 stock wheels go for real cheap?
