OK so I need now tires and well I might as well get new rims too.

I have picked the Rims but not the tires yet. I will be going with 20" XD 775 Rockstar Black maybe the Machined Black ones I will be getting them from rimz one online.


Now to what tire I should go with and how wide of a rim (Thinking of 20"x10")

Now I need them to fit my stock height LMM (T-bars turned up a bit)

Not sure but something like a 285/60/20 but not sure about the fit.

Looking at Nitto Dura Grapplers

or BF Goodrich All Terrain

But open to any tire that will fit and can get from Rimz one online.


Thanks for any help.

I run a 20x9.5 with a 0 offset. I had on 275-55-20 tires. I have now went up to a 305-55-20 only mods I had to do was the fender mod (on the inside portion of the fender it is very easy to do hardest part is taking the tires off... not sure if the write-up is on here or not). I had to nick the corner of my inside bumper as well but that was it. Truck is at stock height, no keys, no leveling kit.... I am actually going to drop the rear 1" to level it out and keep it a nice stance.


My 275's rubbed a bit on tight turns, 305's hit hard.. I did the mod and can go lock to lock now. Fits great looks great IMO.. IF you need pics I can snap some in the am.

I wouldn't go with a 20x10. Go with a 20x9 or 8.5 and stay away from neative offset. If you get a +12 offset it will do less damage to your truck and you can fit bigger tires. 305/50R20 or 285/60R20 Goodyear Duratracs are the shit.

not sure on your truck but i had to do some trimming with truck level but nothing major.however i took the front bumber off and moved it forward about an inch so we could lower it down and still not have much rubbing.

On a Lmm, you will prob have the modify the inner fender, and maybe trim a touch off the bumper. Granted I am a bit bigger but that is all I had to do. The only major thing is with a tire that size is the fender if not modified hits hard.

Well I forgot to post that they are on and look good I still need to make the bumper trimming look better but it is a pain in the driveway.

Rims are the 20"x8.5 KMC XD SERIES 775 Rockstar Black
Tires are 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler

I cut 2" off the front bumper and used a heat gun on the liner to mold it where I needed room so far so good but still need to make the bumper cuts look cleaner and maybe paint the bumper black lol.

Whats the info on the moto metal 950 for offset and back spacing?

When you say "you had to trim the bumper" do you mean the plastic air dam piece? Or the chromed steel?

i would suggest like 265 or 275 if you dont want to turn the torsion bars up other wise you could do 285

Yes that is what I would say too and if you don't mind some trimming you could do a 305/50/20 or 305/55/20

I would say look for something around a 31.5-32.5 overall size and not to wide the 285 might be the best for you.
