Anyone have a picture of 20" wheels on their 4x4 with a leveling kit?

If so, what size tires are you running?

I'm debating between 18" and 20" wheels, and not sure which tire or which tire size I want.

I do a lot of beach driving, so I'm looking for something good in the sand (either A/T tires like the Nitto Terra Grappler, Pro Comp, or BFG...or something like the Interco Trxus sTs)

Thanks in advance.

I have a freind that has a RevTec 2" leveling kit and he's running 20X9.5 with 5" back spacing. The tires he has are BFG AT's 325/60. He has no problems with rubbing at all.
As for the 18's or 20's, the difference would be for starters:
Bad:
1. the price 20's much more in cost.
2. not that much tire sizes to choose from for 20's.
3. side walls on the 20's are much shorter.
Good:
1. the look.
2. the look.
3. the look.
If you like the look of the 20's and don't mind the limited choices I would say JUST BUY IT...

Oops he's running 305/55 not 325/60. 325/60 was his old tire size. I'll try to get some pics of his truck when he comes by the shop.

Its All Good,

Your wheel/tire combo looks nice also!

A few pics of his truck would be great. I like the look of the 20's, and I don't tow much...so I'm not really concerned with that aspect.

However, I don't want to worry about rubbing and I'd prefer to keep it with a leveling kit, but may end up going to a lift. My dream would be able to clear a 35/12.5R20 on a KORE suspension (but not sure if the KORE will allow a 20" wheel combo).

Why wouldn't it? A 35" tire is a 35" tire. The KORE suspension works great with 35" tires.

The limiting factor would be the wheel backspace/offset. That is what will cause/prevent rubbing.

 

In my gallery I have pictures. 20" maxx 8s with 5 inch backspacing and 33 nitto a/ts. I need a leveling kit because it rubs at full turn in reverse. With the KORE kit I dont see why 35s wouldnt fit.

 

Sometimes the sidewall on a 20" tire will bulge differently then on a 17" tire. If that 'bulge' happens right where the contact area may be, it might cause trouble.

I would think that the proper offset/backspace would let them work...but, I have no clue how to determine which offset and backspace is optimal.

Thanks
