Maybe buying a 05 2500 Dmax shortbox - comes with 16 inch wheels HUH??? Totally ridiculous if you ask me. I currently own an 03 SS with 20's - how large can I go on these wheels without lifting the truck any recommendations from anyone please - wheels, tires etc???

You can go up to 285's on 16's with no lift, minimal cranking of the torsion bars.

they are two different trucks, why put 20s on something thats meant to tow?

I ran 22's last year and towed my TT all over no problems. Looked Great!! IMO

That's fine as long as you don't hit a bump!!! You need sidewalls to help absorb road shock when the truck is loaded.

Yes I know they are two different trucks - I would like to put larger tires on because the 16's look like donuts on a locomotive - in one word - F O O L I S H

So will I be able to put 20's on this truck yes or no ? Thanks...

I've seen 1 w/irocks and 20's it looked great. I run 315 Goodyear mtr's on the stockrims ,(too narow) I cranked the torsion within 1/4 " of the end of the bolt, it bounced alot untill i put the rancho 9000's on .Trimmed the fender skirt and tied it back as well as the brake cable and trimmed the air dam in the front . My new T/R bumper clears by a mile and they only scrub a little if i'm turned just wrong and hit a hard bump going fast or realy in a bind. I've been thinking about 18's and 325's.

i have 20's on my truck with the bfg allterrain 285 55 r20 the tire is new this year. i like then alot. even with the tbars cranked there was a small amount of rubing. i had to trim the bottom plastic on the front bumper and pull back the inner fender alittle. it real wasn't much but i hate when it rubed. but after that little bit of work it doesn't rub any more

I think 20's are fine.........as long as you have a 38" or larger tire wrapped around it! I think that putting 20's with low profile tires on one of these trucks takes the "heavy duty" right out of it. If stock tires on 16's looks F O O L I S H then my 39.5's on 16's must kill you! Hate to say it but it is possible that big rims is a trend that might not be around forever, once everything is coming stock with 20"s and 22's they will be old news. Just venting a bit I guess, its your truck so do what u think looks good.
