Default What wheel and tire combo???

Hi I'm a newbe, I'm buying a 2003 ecsb.

Going to put tires and wheels on with the deal, thinking 20's??

what tire is close to the 245-75-16, I was thinking 275-45-20.

Plan on a 2/4 drop later.

Just looking for some input.


Thanks guys!!!!

245/75 16 is 30.5" tall, closest thing to that height in a 20 is 255/50 - 30", 265/50 - 30.4", 275/45 - 29.7". I would go any wider than a 275 since most 20s arent any wider than 9.5". And I wouldnt put any tire on thats over 31" with a 2/4 drop

295/45/20 (30.5") is another choice as it fits a 9.5" rim, also.

I've got 265/50/20s on a 2/4 drop and 8" wide wheel.

Hey tdrumm, how do those tires work for you. I have factory 20's. They are 8.5" wide and come with 275/55/20. They are just to big for a 4/6 drop. They are border line. I have thought of a few sizes. 265/55/20 was one that I was considering. Do you think you could look at you truck and see if they may work. Or perhaps take a few pics for me. A pic from behind would work. That way I could see if and where the fenders may meet the tires. Or if you hold a straight edge along sid ethe tire you can see where it will hit under the fenders. I would really appreciate any info you could share.
