275/65/20 Too skinny?
Getting ready for new tires and leaning towards the 275/65/20 Terra Grapplers on a 2010 fx4 Screw.
I like the 34" height but am worried that they are too skinny.
I have looked at pics of trucks with these tires but it's hard to tell without seeing them in person.
So for those of you that have them - Are you happy with them? Do they look like they are in proportion? Would you get them again?
Would also be happy to see any pics you want to post.

I think they are too skinny but that is just my opinion. I just like big agressive tires. Plenty of people run them so not everyone will agree. FWIW, I'm running 295/60/20.

I'm running 285/55/20's and the width looks just about right to me on my '11 FX4 20's. I would rather have more sidewall depth for off-roading and am considering what to get next. Leaning towards the 275/65/20. Whatever size, I will be getting the Nitto TG's again.

They are a little skinny, but it's not the end of the world, the truck will still look great! I would also check out the afore mentioned 285/55's or 295/60's too, all will look great!

Keepin' the lights on!
I like the skinny tire look. I've done the wide tire thing in the past and unless I'm building a dedicated sand rig I won't do that again. Everyone will have a different opinion on this subject.

I love the look of your truck with those tires. The 295/60/20 is probably my favorite looking tire. I just didn't want to have to be concerned about rubbing/trimming, the reduced gas mileage, and not to mention those are about $100 per tire more expensive. Not ruling them out completely though.

Yeah, I really like the 285 width but want more sidewall too. The only 285/60/20 that I can find is the Duratrac and I don't want to listen to those aggressive tires humming all the time.

Well, I finally got my new tires and I can now say that they are not too skinny.
I am very pleased with the look. These Nitto Terra Grapplers look much "meatier" than I expected. I think the 275/65/20 was a good choice for me.
Here are pictures of before and after.
