need tire suggestions
i recently got a set of chrome 20x8.5 wheels for next to nothing and im looking for a decent size tire to put on these wheels. my truck is a 99 silverado ecsb with ford keys and 4" blocks. i want to get a tire that will fill the gap in my wheel wells. i was looking and found a bunch of 305-50-20 tires for a good price. would this be a good size to put on or should i consider a 3" body lift and then put either 325-60-20s, 33-12.50-20s or 35-12.50-20s on? i would like to stay away from the body lift and expensive tires if i can. thanks for any help!!

I wouldnt go bigger than a 33x12.50/ or 305 maybe, and I mean maybe you could run the BFG AT 315. You can always tweak the torsion bars, dont max them out! THe rear end space shouldnt be an issue, you could throw a 36 back there, it is the front, so I would say if you dont mind a little rubbing, go with the 305 or 315.

305/50 or a 305/55, the 55 will bulge a little on the 8.5 but is close to a 33. They will fill out the wells better than the 50s, the 50s are good for stock height truck (no crank/blocks, etc).
