35's look way under stuffed sitting under 6" of lift. 37's and up for 6" of lift, there is realy no way around that.

35's compliment 4" just fine, a nice set of 35" Toyo M/T's wrapped around a set of 20's looks killer(If you get the right wheels).

This is 3" front and 1" rear from the Kore Recon kit. It could probably go up to 37" tires and still have enough room.

Might as well take leving kit off your list if you want to run those wheels, unless you don't mind tons of rubbing.

With the right set of wheels I think 35"s look best under 3" of lift. More than that needs 37"s.

I second that. I've got Moto Metal 951's right now and with the 4.5" of backspacing I had to go up to a 5" lift just to clear them completely. I can't stand any rubbing. I would imagine that those 20's would rub even worse because they are 10" wide and they ones I have are 9" wide.....

Im rolling a 4" lift on 35s(17s though), and it looks ok, but 37s would look better.

And especially with the 20s, id do a 4" lift and 37s.
If you only want to run 35s and dead set on 20s, id either level it out, or go with a 2.5-3" lift.

They didn't rub because your wheels have lots of backspacing, which is a good thing.
