Probably, yeah.

Just so you know - 295's are available for 20's.... Exact height as stock. (anyone know the exact size?)

no flame blk,but

295 or 275,etc is width not height. 30,40,etc are sidewall widths which determine heigt-if that makes any sense?

Yes, I know how tires are sized. 295 is the width in MM, and the 45 is the sidewall height percentage, not the actual height. (Therefore, on a 245/45, the sidewall height is 45% of 295mm, or
132.75mm.)

I was just explaining that he can get a tire in the STOCK width, so that he did not have to make the sacrifice in going with a skinnier tire, and that they are available in an aspect ratio that puts them at the same height as the stock rolling combo.

Make sense?

I had 275/45/20 Goodyear GT II's on my 20's with a 3/4 Bell Tech drop. It worked and looked great. The cheap tires are nice as well and they are not directional tires either. The guy that got my 20's uses them with a 3/4 drop as well.....

How's the ride with 295-40-20's and a 4/3 drop? Is there sufficient ground clearance for large speed bumps and steep driveways? Love the look of this setup!
