I found some 20 By 8.5 Wheels, But I need help with the tires, What ? P000/00R20 do I need or want, I want white outlined letter tires, I want some low profile tires but not to thin, & I don't want it to look off road

Ill Paint Them Later, I don't want to much chrome

 

Stock tire size is 275 55 20

 

Here is when I had 20" wheels.

20x8.5 Roush Racing Wheels w/ +38mm offset
Goodyear Eagle GTII Tires
Front tires: 285/50R20
Rear Tires: 305/50R20

 

The hardest thing to find is gonna be the white letters. Only a couple brands (Michelin, Pirelli, Goodyear are all that come to mind) have white letters available in a 20" wheel size. Mostly 275/55R20. As mentioned before, 285/50R20 and 305/50R20 are also good options, but good luck finding any with white letters. For real low-pro look, you might look into 275/45R20, but once again, good luck finding white letters.

 

275/55/20 measures out to right about 32" and is stock on all 20" GMs. They're on my mom's 2011 Yukon and nothing about them says offroad. I think a truck needs some beef to the tire, especially with a 20" wheel. The fatter the tire, the more protection for the wheel as well. I really would go with 275/55/20, maybe a 275/50/20 if you want a bit slimmer look but still not too thin. Go with a 305 and it will cost a bit more and is pretty wide for an 8.5" wheel IMO when going with a lower profile tire. My truck had 305/40/22's on it when I bought it and I really liked the wider stance that it had and there was a decent amount of tire, but 22's aren't really my thing haha

Also, just as a heads up, in order to properly paint on top of chrome, all of the chrome must be completely stripped off via sandblasting, acid dip/strip or something similar that will completely remove it. If painting is definitely something you'd do with those wheels, I'd try to look for some that aren't chrome. I think those wheels would look good on your truck just the way they are though.

 

I might just find some Excellent Performance Tires (Street Tires but have excellent ratings) and ive seen on ebay and ads about a white outline marker that's made for tires like for $10

 

Those markers are like crayons but instead of wax they are made with paint. They are made for touching up white letters or white walls that have been curb checked. They are not for making black letters white. At least that's the only kind of marker I've seen in the past.

I'd run white letters out if I was getting a sponsor check . Until that time comes its black walls for me. If a tire only comes with white letters I turn them in and usually hit them with some black tire paint.

 

well im still deciding on wheels, I can go low pro, or can get some stock OEM 2009+ F-150 wheels
