tire help!!!

[mikeith]

i know its a shot in the wind but can ANYONE tell me what size these rear tires are... all i know is that the wheel is 20x10.... and i'm lookin to get a lil more meat in the back of mine but everything i find for a 20x10 goes from rubberband to just too much.... these look perfect though

They look simular to what is on yours already?  What size are you currently running?

[mikeith]

im running 255/35-20's up front which im sure are the same but on back i have 285/30-20's which are lower profile and more narrow than the one on that truck.... not to mention 3/10" smaller in diameter than the ones i have up front and it looks horrible in my opinion! heres a pic of what i have (which u can barely see since i took the picture originally of the bumper)



or here's one from the side

Just measure up what and where you want the tire and rim. In case you don't know how tire sizes work I'll splain....example

325/50r18

The tread width is 325MM

The profile/series/aspect ratio is 50% of 325mm which is 162.5mm meaning the sidewall is 162.5mm tall

and R18 = Radial 18" wheel. So just whip out a tape measure and covert the width and height you want to MM and you should be right where you want too.

example 325/50R18 is 12.8" wide X 6.4" high

this is what 305/40/20's look like mounted:

And I know you can get 305/35/20's which would be taller than the fronts you have one.

What you have now basically has the same height with a larger section width.

Check out this app to visually see what different sizes are compared to what you have.

BTW, I think it looks comparable as it sits.
