There are two more pictures in my gallery waiting approval. One side shot, so you can compare 33's to the 35's in the ebay add. The other shot shows where the clearance problem is between the tires and fender. In that picture the tire is a little past where it would rub. Unless those 35's in the ebay add are narrower, I'm sure they rub real bad.

This picture shows where you will get clearance issues with the 305's. It only hits a little, and if you can get the tire turned past this point, it's fine. After clearancing, I have about 1/4" but it still rubs if the tire it turned and I hit a bump.



Here is a side view.

More spacing with the 305 would be good though??

If a guy went to 5.5" backspacing you figure that a guy wouldn't ahve any issues with stock suspension?

Instead of wasting your time with 20 inch tires you should investigate the 19.5 inch wheel tire combos. You don't have to worry about finding Load E tires. Mine are H rated and are 34 inchs and do not rub even with out a lift or leveling kit (19.5/245/70s).

These are not poser tires they are rated at 4900 lbs load each. They give the looks AND the performance at the same time.

I'm sure it would help, but you'll have trouble finding 20x10's with that much backspacing.

Sorry no pictures on this computer but do a search Rickson tires on internet and you will see a lot of pictures. You don't have to buy their wheels - Discount tire, American tire, and Les Schwab sell them too.

No wheel adapters needed. The 19.5 tires are a medium (as opposed to a light) grade tire and will easily out last the 20 inch tires on the market.

The 19.5's w/ medium duty tires are great if you tow all the time. My friend gets 100K from a set of tires on his dually w/ 19.5's. But unloaded they ride really rough. Thats why I went with the 20's. All the 20" all terrain tires I've seen are E rated, which is as good as the suspension on the single wheel truck can handle.


Quick Reply: Could I put 20" wheels on my CTD????
