So I have been working on a new wheel and tire combo and I think I may try some 20x9 KMC monsters wrapped with some Toyo Proxes ST's 305/50R20.
does any body have any info or input on these tires??

will this combo fit on a truck with NO lift??.....18+ offset backspacing 5.71
wheres Pauly!!?!?!?

thanks for ANY input or info you got.
anybody running this combo??
PICS?????

TIA

 

mark I dont think you will have a problem with those. I have ran a 20x8.5 & 20x10 wheel also with that exact tire you want with only a leveling kit. I dont think they will rub with a 9" wide wheel and if they did it would only be a little bit. I can tell you some very fast trucks run those tires for a reason. If you are always on the street like me they do very well

 

yeah I have been hearing really good things about them other then tread life is short(any high end tire has that problem tho)
Yeah my truck runs on the street 99.9% of the time. I got a buggy for my offroad fix.

I am thinking about pulling my leveling kit..and stock gloss black wheels with 315 BFG's and my sport bumper selling all that and adding a SRT10 front bumper and the 20" wheels with smaller tires.(305/50R20)

 

I owned Toyo Proxes when I had my F-250, they were the best handling tire I ever had on a 7300# truck. My Ford was 2 WD, and lowered in the rear. I had the tires before it was lowered thou. It handled fentasticlly. You will not be disappointed!

 

I wish somebody had some pics of a 50 series tire on a 20" wheel...I am a little worried 305/50R20's will look silly on a 4wd=not enough sidewall????

 

found some in the same size but different brand combo...I think it looks Sharp...but my leveling kit is coming off for sure if I run a tire and wheel combo like this....

You do know these are going to be the next super popular rim and your going to see them everywhere just like Rockstar's.

Dont get me wrong I like the Monster's but if you like to be more orignal then go with the bronze Monster's.

I think it would look killer on a white truck.

 

let me see if I can hook you up my friend

there you go mark. that is a 305/50/20 toyo proxes st on a 20x10 helo maxx wheel and it does have a 2" leveliing kit

 

I'm not a big fan of those Bronze wheels KMC has come out with...plus black would look much better on my truck since the rest of the truck has the same theme....I dont mind if lots of guys have the monsters some day....they look PIMP even if other trucks have them...plus mine WILL be different...everybody else will be running them with toyo MT's.....LOLThanks Jesse!! it does look like you could run that set-up without a leveling kit???I like it...I think I may put my wheels and tires in the classifieds...thanks for your help guys....if anybody else has some 305/50R20's on their truck post up please.

 

I think they look to small. Have you checked out the dick cepek tire and wheels

 

I want a hard hooking street tire...drag tire but still all season.
the tires and wheels I want are the same size as any other brand...how would DC make a 305/50R20 look bigger......then a Toyo Proxes that is the same size??

I dont want mud tires!!!!toyo Proxes are the closest thing to what I want..most all the other brands are not rated for the weight of the cummins...shoot the toyos are not rated very high on weight either..but they are the highest I have found so far.
I want a fast mega..not a big lifted Mega..pretty sure no matter what the leveling kit is coming off and so are the big tires...big tires=lots of expensive hp lost....and fuel mileage too...lol

 

in my personal opinion I know some guys that run those dc1 wheels and I think they are digusting looking I dont care for them I think they are really ugly. the proxes that I ran were 3086 lbs per tire D load range. Ive pulled a couple trailers and they did fine. I had the mickey thompson atzs before the proxes on some 20" wheels and the truck didnt drive very well. they were 35" tall and way too heavy, it looked good but drove and ran like a slug

 

Toyo AT in 20" should do the job. They arn't agressive at all.
