Default would this work?
would a 295/45/20 stick out too far on a rim 9.5 rim with a 10mm offset?
or would it look ok. maybe i should go with a 285/45/20...any thoughts??

thanks

Here's an old pic of my truck with 295/45/20's. The rims were 9.5 with almost 6" of backspacing.

Not that your truck looks too bad there or anything, but it sure looks better now with the current rims.

Not at all. It looks great. New rims were a big improvement though IMO

Hey did those tires rub when you turned?

I agree.

I never had any tire rubbing problems with the 295's. It was tight up front but I still had a little room to spare.

Yeah, I got your PM this morning when I came back on and started laughing because I remembered posting in this thread.

BTW, that is with the Hotchkis drop. I wish it were lower.
