Got a set of Nnbs 20s the other day. Still have stock size tires on them. Way to tall of a tire for my truck. It sits way to high on top of tires nearly rubbing without being turned. So needing a new sized tire. I dot want to run a rubber band tire. But needing a much smaller sidewall. Post up some pics of the tires y'all are running and the exact size. Truck has a 3/5 drop so help me out guys.
Off hand I was thinking around a 255/45 or along those lines.
u need a 275/45
Isn't that almost the exact size that comes on 08s? I think Infact that is what is mounted on these wheels currentlyQuote:

275/45/20 is a 29.2-29.7 looks good on any nbs with a 2", 2/4", or 4/6" drop...
All personally opinion... Tire place will.be able to tell you... A 265/50/20 is a good lookin tire especially in nitto 420s!!!
I Schtand corrected.
These 29 inch tires on my 03 are going to beat the **** out of my truck on every bump. Keep in mind Arkansas roads are about as smooth as trail riding in most states. Anyone got pics of a smaller sized tire on 20s?
i have 255/50/20 on front of my truck and 315/35/20 on rear....3/4 drop
I'll check out some pics of ya truck in a minute quik. Ur front tire size sounds about right.
Well how low are you?
255/50/20 is a 30-30.8" tire
I had those on the aero they look funky cause on skinny side and tall wall...
275/40/20 rare find but is bout a 28.6 on avg I believe...
the 255/50 are 30" calculated and 29.4 measuredQuote:

the 275 45 is a perfect tire trust me i have had multiple tire wheel combinations lol.....the tires on the rims you have are 275/55s ;)
That sound about. How much height difference is there?Quote:

this will help u ;)
going to be atleast a 2inch in height difference
i always use this,when im changing tires/rims lol

IIRC, First number is how wide the tire is in mm. The second number is the the sidewall (%width). So a 275/55 would be 275mm wide, and 151 of sidewall. I THINK.Quote:

But on tirerack I think you it is they tell you what each and every brand of each series roll out too... Youd be surprised the different... You usually find the cheaper tires like Sunny and otber traders village tires being ghe most off in height eother way short or way tall...
I couldnt agree more woth zach on 45 series 275s they look great!
Stock ride height in front for now tires are 275/45/20s

1.5" to level rear

That tink helped out a ton. Thank ya. May go with 255/40. That would be the same height tire as my slick is. Would keep truck same height instead of front end higher on track...Quote:
