Anyone running any 285/50 or 55R20? Got any pics? I am trying to decide between those or 305/55r20s. I have seen 305/55r20 with the T bars cranked. It looks good but thats a lot of tire to tug when your tryin to be quick and hit the track some but still have a good look truck.. Pics of both sizes would be awesome..

bump

I'm searching for this same request. I have 305/50/20's now and the driver side tire rubs/has broken the plactic on the rear of the wheel well. I am alos looking for and LT tire this time (load range E). The LT285/55/20 has near the same specs of my old tires, but I am unsure of the loss in width. I think it may look funny with the wheel sticking out like it does and the tire not being very wide....

That doesn't look bad, is your Tbars down?

width and BS will make or break your setup

Try a 275-60-20...It's 33" tall tire but not as wide as the 305. I have them in the Cooper Zeon LTZ's on my 20x9's and they look great in my opinion. Turned the torsions up 6 turns to level it and barely had to trim the front plastic valance.

Have you made a tire purchase yet? I will try to post pics of my new 285 / 55/ r20's if you would like.

So far I like them. I came from 305/50/20's. These 285's are load range E where the 305's were only D's. They really don't look much smalller than the 305's.

Dmaxn04 no my T-bars are cranked up a few turns from a few years ago but they are going to come down along with the rear end via shackles to get it down a few inches or so. With the 285-55's it looks like I can lower the t-bars without any problems rubbing but like everyone says, backspacing has a lot to do with that. I believe mine are +14.

I have 275 65 R20 on my truck (34" x 11")...I think it looks great plus they are load range E. You can find them used with little wear on them as I did mine because they are stock tires off of the new Superduty's with stock 20's. Picked mine up practically brand new for $350 for the set. I will try to get some pics.

I'd like to see pictures of your truck blackbird505 with the 285/55r20 Nitto TG. Once my 33x12.5r20 Toyo MT wear out i'll be purchasing the exact same set.

285/55 is a taller tire then the 305/50 right? About half inch. The 305 is just wider.

Thats a good looking tire, how are they wearing? Are they super soft?

Promised myself when I retired I would get a 2500 DM. Well, I'm retired and negotiating on a low miles 08 LTZ DM. It has 6" lift w/ toyo 35/12.5/R20s. Beautiful. Now, reading these posts I have questions. Like, does the computer have to be reprogramed? and does reprogramming cause the ECM to change? If so, does that screw w/ the warranty? Also, does this tire setup screw w/ Stabiltrak or ABS? Any advice would sure be helpful.......thanks.

Why you take the 20s off? Looked good!

Got tired of trying to keep them clean because I work in a chemical plant. And now every truck u see around here has em.
