I need to get new tires and I'm going to go with a set of LML 20s. I currently have 295/70/17s on H2s. I've seen guys running 35s on these wheels but I was thinking about 305/55/20s. What tire size would yall recommend for me?

well that 305/55/20 size is a 33, a 305/50/20 is a 32 and that's what i have on a 4/6 drop, with it being leveled you should be able to fit atleast that 305/55/20 if not a straight up 35, remember the wheels have like a +12 offset or some shit so they don't rub like all the gay ass deep dish wheels

275 65r 20 fits on the LML leveled with a little heat on the inner fenders skirts. It a 34" tire about 10.4" wide, as Sean so eloquently put it the back spacing is the most important part, you can fit some monster tires on the right wheel.

I'm toying with running the above tire on my "gay" rims. I mounted one up last night, just need to pull a front and put it on.

Few companies rarely go past 5" back spacing.. offset is subjective to/changes with wheel width.. really wish they do away with that crap.
I just mounted a 17*9 with 6" BS 305/70/17 on my 2500 burb with no suspension hitting. Little bumper and liner trimming needed raised 1.5" roughly
If I had a LBZ I'd test fit them on for you. As my LMM kinda pointless due to body style

So yall think 35x12.50r20s will clear with 1.5 inch spacer/adapters in the front and 2 inch spacer/adapters in the rear?

My 295s have rubbed at full lock since new

Had my truck leveled with 305/55r20. Rims had a -24 offset and they rubbed minorly with the rear of the wheel well messaged with a hammer:D
Hopefully this helps some.

So I found that the LML 20s are +44 offset and with the 1.5" spacers/adapters, it works out to about 4 or 6 offset (I think, I left my numbers at work).

So I am still up in the air on tire size. Anyone else have any input/advice on tire size? As for which tire, I'm thinking about either Trail Grapplers as I've gotten 60k+ for both sets I've had so far, or the Toyo R/Ts

Check out the new faulken wildpeak at3w tires. They're a good looking tire. Pictures on line don't do them any justice and if you look around you get get them for a really good price. I found a set of 315/70r17's for $178ea and in an lt they're 18/32nds tread new.
