    Not keeping the 295's up front, not if I get the 20X8.5 rims. I think the 295/40's might be a bit wide for a 8.5" wide wheel, so I figured I would buy 275/45 for the front. No rubbing on the inside of wheel well with current set up. So going from 295/40's to 275/45's.

    Oh cool, I will look into that. Thanks I can turn a wrench, but not sure about body work, but will check it out.

    If you can use a grinder and a hammer. You are good to go. It's just your inner finder. Nothing that you see or could see if you are tucking tire any way.

    Well after looking at it, I don't think I want to do that. I don't trust myself in cutting metal off my truck in that way. I have a grinder, and use it, but not on body panels. Thanks for the info though

    Those are +25 offset correct? If I ran a 20X8.5 with a 275/45-20 it would be 1.2" taller then your setup. Think it would work?

    If you do the 275-45 your front tires will be a little bit taller then your rears. I would do a 275-40, it would fit better. I have a 2.5"/4" drop on my truck

    I ran 275/45/20 onmy truck with the centerline stingray 2's and I didn't have any issues on my old truck... It was dropped and the only time I ever had an issue would be when I hit a large bump or dip in the road and the suspension would compress and the tires would rub the top of the fender.. But that was because of my driving style mainly
