Thanks man! Does anybody know the biggest tire that I can run that won't rub?
305/60/20 Toyo A/T are a little more than a inch shorter would they fit?

If you look at page 5 or 6 there is a post that I did taged Nebraska
another member just put 305/55/20 on his and all so had rubbing at full turn
I believe a 285 will fit with no rubbing

I recently installed a set of 305/55/20 (Cooper Zeon LTZ) on an 07 4x4. They do rub at FULL lock on the upper control arm, it is minor and has not caused me any problems, come to think of it, the only time they have rubbed since I installed them was the other day in a parking lot, I was backing up and was trying to get out of a tight spot, I felt them rub just a tad, no big deal. On the stock rim I would not go any wider than a 305 (12 inches) give me your email and I will shoot you a picture of them, the Cooper LTZ looks and rides awsome!!!

For those of us less learned (and too lazy to look it up online somewhere)....anyone want to provide the conversion to the numbers used previously? (305/55/20 = 33" x 12 x 20??)
Thanks.

Thats right Miseroth, 305/55/20=33x12x20, actually it is 33.2" but who cares about the .2" right.

Thanks man I looked these tires up and not only do they look good they are very inexpensive compared to Toyo, Bfg. ect. I can't shoot you a e-mail because the web wizard says I'm to new on the forum. Can you post the pics. on here? Also are these tires tough, I'm talking about the sidewalls and punture resistance could not find that info. Thanks.

pignjig, it says I'm not allowed to post attachments, post your email address and I will send you some pics. As far as the tire being tough, they are 10 ply just like the Nitto Terra Grappler and Toyo Open County A/T. They have the exact same specs(load rating) as the others mentioned. I'm not sure about the Toyo but the Cooper has a better tread rating than the Nitto (520 vs. 500) I looked at all three of these tires side by side and the Cooper, as far as looks goes, was hands down the best looking tire (sidewall and tread) This of course is my opinion and I'm sure others will disagree but this tire looks awsome on the truck.

I can fit my pinky finger between the tire and ball joint, its close though. The ball joint is a fixed object so as long as it clears any, there won't be a problem.
