I just did the Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks and a now trying to decide on my tires:4-dontknow:. I was dead set on the Cooper Zeon LTZ in the stock 275/60/20 on my stock rims. My neighbor thinks I should go with the Coopers in 305/50/20 with 2 inch spacers to push the wheels out some more so they look right with the flares I installed last fall. I want your guys/gals opinions on what a good combination would be. I can get a decent discount through Belle tire but they only list the stock size in their inventory. Do you think the stock 275 size would look ok if I used the 2 inch spacers with them? I'm open to all suggestions, but want to stay under $1000.00 installed. If you can, show me pics of your trucks with what you have and tell me their size...Thanks again
Personally, I would never buy the 305/50's. I just can't justify lifting your truck then installing shorter tires. 1/2" wheel spacers are about the max you should ever install. You could look at some 285's or 295's, that's just the look I like.
I totally agree, I don't want my truck shorter that would defeat part of what I just did. Thanks for the pics I love those Duratracs on the blue truck. Too bad they are over $300 a piece
these sizes have me confused? i just had my '10 leveled 2" and was planning on buying 305 55 20 nitto's this friday.......is that a bad move? the two tires mentioned above what do the convert in inches?
After alot of reading I'm thinking of staying away from the 305's due to lower mileage, increased wear on suspension parts, and hydroplaning in rain. I am still trying to decide on a final brand and style, I was set on the coopers but not sure if they will look aggressive enough for me. I kind of have to stay with belle tire due to me getting a discount through them. But If I find something close in price elsewhere and looks better than that is an option. I Hardly ever get off road, but want the aggressive look, with a well mannered tire too.
