Default Wheel/Tire size

If it was your choice what would your ideal rim/tire size be on a ECSB 4wd with the block pulled out of the rear?

I am thinking these rims,20x8.5, with about a 275/55-20 tire.

I'm happy with the 285/50-20's that I have...just a smidge shorter and wider than a 275/55...you'll fill a little less wheel well but it should corner better due to the wider tire. If you bring the front down a tad (with keys for instance) and throw some 2" lowering shackles in the rear, the 285's will look great, just my opinion

Will 5.25bs work fine? Might go with the 285/50 General Grabber UHP, and then come up with something for winter.

Will a 295/50 be to big?

I have the factory GM 20s on my 06' with 275/55s. I am really ready for these tires to wear out so I will have an excuse to get something shorter as these are pushing 32in tall, and kill my gear.(3.73s) Im looking at something like a 275 or 285/45 tire. I just hope this leaves me with enough sidewall so it does not beat me to death.

Oh, wheel choice looks great. Not overdone at all.
