325/60R20 on leveled FX4
I had some free time today, so I thought that I'd clean the truck up and get some pictures of the new 325/60R20 Hankook Dynapro ATm's that I put on a couple of months ago. They MIGHT fit if you are really careful with your aftermarket wheel selection. I got them to fit, but I had to cut out quite a bit of plastic inner fender and a little bit of the metal on the inner fender well. I had to remove a little bit of the pinchweld seam of the body, luckily it wasn't a section that was structural. It wasn't even welded actually.
There's more pics in my albums if you're interested.
Just a quick review of the Hankook Dynapro ATm
This tire is one of the most aggressive ALL terrain tires out on the market. Somewhat new, as they have only been selling them for a couple years now. They are aggressive enough that I haven't had any problems yet when out playing in the mud, but I haven't pushed them to the limit yet. They handled the dusting (2 inches) of snow that we got about a week ago with no problems. Possibly even better in the snow than my old Cooper Discoverer STT mud terrains, but that may be due to the fact that these have a lot more siping than any mud terrain available. Wet traction has been superb, but keep in mind that I've been rolling on worn out mud terrains for about 6 months now, so it may be that I am just not used to having any wet traction in the first place.
The biggest shocker to these tires is how quiet they are. I have less road noise now than my family's 2007 Ford Edge with all seasons! Even at highway speeds, I cannot hear the tires at all over my exhaust.
Many people say that the best all terrain is the BFG, but keep in mind that the BFG has been around for decades now, meaning it's an old design. This new Hankook has a lot better technology put into its development than the old BFG, and is MUCH cheaper. I'm a Service Coordinator at Discount Tire and before getting the much loved employee discount, the Hankooks were $378 each while the BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO was $493 each Something to keep in mind..
Ill have to see how they wear. I'm hoping that they are gonna last a while. My last set of Cooper STT mud terrains only lasted me 37,000 miles.
And please excuse my crappy iphone camera pics

I actually bought it off craigslist from another member of this site about 3 years ago used, so it was very affordable for me. I think new they run about $1300, but I could be WAY off on the price. They don't list prices on their website.

Ya, I've been playing with the idea of either painting the flares DSG to match and get the front bumper powdercoated a similar color to DSG, or just painting the flares, rear bumper, and lower two tone black, but I don't know if it would be worth it for either option...

Looks great! What is the offset of your rims? I currently have stock rims with 285/70/17's they stick out just shy of 1/2" I plan on getting incubus krawler (similar look to yours) 20x9 rims with a +12 offset. I would like to get them out far enough to justify some pocket flares.
My Ballistic Alloys Wizards (which have been discontinued) are 20x9 with +0 offset, and 5.00 inch backspacing. When I had my old 35x12.50R20 Mud Terrains on it, the rears were right perfectly level with the Buskwacker Pocket Flares and the front tires stuck out about 1/2 of an inch from the outside of the flares. These new tires are about 13.4 wide, so now both the fronts and rears stick out a bit. I think that a +12 would do you pretty good for that it you wanted to go with the 35x12.50R20's.
I think that the factory wheels are around a 17x7.5 with +44 offset, so that would mean that those wheels you are looking at would be about 2 inches further out overall than the factory ones. If you went with a tire that is 12.5 wide, it would put you at right about the same place mine were at.
Just a warning though, that kind of setup will require cutting with a 35 inch tire. 35x12.50R20s just usually require cutting the plastic inner fender and the front plastic valance. 325/60R20s WILL require metal cutting, just on the inside where it's not visible from the exterior, so it is possible, but I know it will turn some people away from them.
