I've purchased boss 330s in the 20x8.5. I'd like to make the back tires as wide as possible to get the mean street look but want a tire that will keep me a little on the performance side. Help me out as to what will look good from yalls experiences and what tires will get the job done. I prefer low profiles also. my silverado has been dropped in the back 2 inches to get the level look.

 

when i had 20s i ran a 275/45 out back and a 265/40 up front.. gave it a good rake look.. but the tires i had were not grabbing the road for the little mods i had at the time! lol

 

lol, do you happen to have a pic of the stance at that time?

 

I've had 275/45/20 and they're pretty wide but a 295/40/20 would look badass.

 

Nitto 315/35ZR20 NT05

 

Chevy boy that nitto you listed above. Does that happen to be a drag radial? Dlt would the size you posted sit as a low profile or will it be a pretty tall tire

 

295/40/20 is a low pro tire and is 29.3" tall, that nitto would look stupid with only a 2" drop in the rear, plus it's a little too wide for an 8.5" rim, I wouldn't trust it at high speeds.

 

Alright. well how do you think a drag radial will look once i lower it about 2 more inches all the way around or maybe 4

 

4" lowered in the back would still look weird. That tire is only 28.6" tall. Mess around with this calculator and see what you come up with. A flip kit in the back which is 6" drop would look good.
