^^^^ what he said. You will need to pay close attention to what the backspacing is.

Mine are 5.5 inch Backspacing on 9 inch wide 20's. I run 305/55/20's with no issues at all. I also have a leveling kit but it wouldn't make a difference.

why not run a 35 on the rims, make the truck look alittle tougher. throw $250 out for a leveling kit and get it over with- trust me it will make the truck look 10 times better.

I love the Toyos, 3rd set! I have the chrome 114s. I wouldn't get the other machined finish, I've seen how it wears and changes colors on a buds truck and he had to polish them all the time. I'll try to post some pics.

On a 9 inch wide wheel you can run 315's with 5.7 inch back spacing. Close but shouldn't rub...
