I'm looking for a photo of a leveled 4X4 w/BFG AT 305/55/20's on stock rims. I could've sworn I saw one on here in a recent thread, but I couldn't find it again. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

I just put the 325/60's on mine with the stock 20's and it really made the truck. Definitely worth the money. The 305's shouldn't be a great deal different in appearance. You can see the pics in the gallery

 

Thanks, your truck looks great, but those are bit bigger than I wanted. The 325/60's are 2" taller than the 305/55's. I found a truck with the setup I'm interested in in cbarronx23's gallery, but I'd still like to see more if anyone else has the same configuration.

 

Do they rub? Also what did they do to your performance or did you not notice it?

 

Rubbing
Rubbing is not bad. There is some light rubbing on the upper control arm at full lock, I just pay attention to where I am at so I avoid turning full lock. Although sometimes you just have no choice.

Performance
The performance is another story. I debated for several months on doing this mod because of the effects on performance, but I just could not resist the look that this gives this truck, for the body style. I would say I lost 1-2 MPG on average and you can definitely tell you are running 20'' wheels with huge BFG tires. Takes a little longer to accelerate and braking is more stressed... meaning these definitely increase your stopping distance.

And then there is the road noise, which is not bad but noticeably different from the stock tires/wheels. I plan on getting a gryphon soon to correct my speedo and to help with the power/torque. If I had it to do all over again, I would do it the same... only allot sooner. I highly recommend this setup, And if you don't want the rubbing at all, you could probably run the 305's with no problems. Someone chime in to verfiy this though...

 

Thanks for the quick reply, thats what I was expecting to hear, just wanted to make sure. I love the look of the 325/60's on your truck tho! (mine is exactly the same) I would not care about to rubbing or the perfromance loss so much, except I take my truck on the beach about 10 times a year. And pull a 3500lb boat atleast 30 times a year if not more. I would not want to bottom out in the sand when hitting bumps, also would not want to put too much stress on my transmission while towing (since I dont plan on regearing) or while on the beach. So I think I am going to just stick with ordering the 305/55's when my stock pirellis wear out. Sorry longhorn, now lets see some 305/55's

 

???

 

Well,
Not BFG's, but Mickey Thompsons instead. 305/55/20's.

I have since installed Firestone Ride Rite's to level out the back.......

 

305's here. I would go for the 325/60's They look HUGE

 

Still love those wheels!!!!

I personally think 35's on a leveled truck look too big. Just my opinion, but looks like way too much tire for the little bit of opening in the wheel arch.

 

mfgengineer, you really think your bfg's have road noise? i think mine are really quiet, didn't really notice a difference between them and stockers
