Just got my truck out of the body shop after someone was nice enough to hit me while I was parked. But I used it as an excuse to get some new extend a fender flares install. What do you guys think. I have to but my summers on now and buy new tires. Any suggestions for size of tire. I run 20x9 summer wheels mayhem tanks black with the contrast cut. I also have a 2.5 leveling kit up front and 3inch blocks in the rear. Thank for the suggestions.

295/60/20 (Nitto Trail Grapps) is the best size out there for leveled 4x4s in my opinion. Truck looks good and it's nice how mods can be excuses to cover up some damage haha. Great call on the 3" rear blocks. Most folks over look the rear after a level, and I think it looks much better with height added to both front and rear.

They can rub a little bit, depending on the backspacing on your Mayhem wheels. But if the backspacing is moderate, the rubbing isn't anything a little trimming on the lower valance can't take care of. A full size 35x12.5 would rub a lot more, that's for sure. In my opinion, with those flares, you need something that's at least 295mm wide in order to put the truck's proportions back in balance.

At least you northern guys can run even Civic-size tires for a few months out of the year and get away with it by saying "hey now, they're just my winter set!" haha.

I'm sure you'll get her sitting where you want her again with a new set of shoes.

Ya it's funny now that the truck is a couple of inches higher and has the flares the stock size on the 20s look really small. I wasn't planning going really big but I think I might have to go up to 35x12.5 just to make the truck look right. There goes the MPG LOL. Any other suggestions for tires?
