What can i fit...

I have already ordered a 2.5 AS leveling kit, and a 1.5 aal. I was wondering what tires i can fit on 20x10" wheels. I really want some 35s, but i don't want them to rub or anything. I don't mind going with 33s, but would like the bigger tire. I am thinking about going 12.5" wide. Would that even work? What would the experts on here do!!!???

you can do 35's but you will most likely have some minor rubbing- mainly full crank left/right- if you're willing to put up with that 35's rock!- if you dont want ANY rub, drop down to 33-34" max...

Cool, so i can drop down to 34's and have no rub at all?!? And still have the tires at 12.5? I pull a trailer so i need the full crank. Will it still look as good with the 34's? Also, with the 20x10" wheels, 34x12.5" tires how far will they stick out? Thanks!!

I'd stick with a 305/55-20 (33x12.50), especially since you want a wide 10 inch wheel. As a general rule on the new 4x4's with a leveling kit, you can fit 35's using the OEM wheels or 33's with aftermarket wheels. A few members have tried 35's on aftermarket wheels but they had serious rubbing.

Ok, so it looks like i am gonna go with the 33's. I was wondering how far they will stick out? I kinda want them to a little, but not to far. Does anyone have pics of that size tire so i can get an idea, Thanks!!

You said you wanted to use a 20x10 inch wheel. How far it sticks out will depend on the wheels backspacing. The 17 and 18 inch OEM wheels are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing to give you a reference point.

I'm not sure of the backspacing on my particular wheels. I am gonna buy the KMC Rockstars. Does anyone know of the backspacing on those?

I'd check their website. I believe 4Wheel Parts list their specs on their website also.
