I thought about those 295 tires. But that 20m offset with a 9"'wide will already put us 1.25" wider than stock. I was worried a 295 tire might be too wide and would stick out even further and will fill up too much of the wheel well after the leveling kit.

I'll try to get you some pics next week. I was worried about the same thing. However, Im hoping it'll just give it a nice aggressive stance.

I figured with 275/60/20 and it being 1.25" out further I will get somewhat of a more aggressive stance. Looking forward to the pics. Might make me change my mind

Please do post pics when you get them installed. My XD hoss +18 are due to arrive tomorrow and using the stock tires until I see what it looks like before adding any additional width.

The Hoss are only 8.5" wide and not 9" right?

I just installed 20 x 9 +20 offset fuel octanes, with 295/60/20 trail grapplers. They stick out less than I figured. They might stick out 1 1/4", I will take better pictures tomorrow and get a measurement.

Thanks! I haven't had a chance to take better pictures, but last night I put a level on the sidewall and measured to the factory fender flare. The tires only stick out 1" at the top of the wheel well.

Who says you can't fit anything bigger than a 33" on a 2wd. Here's the proof that it can be done with the right offset. I did have to trim the front plastic under the bumper and the lowest part of the fender flare ever so slightly to make it work. You 4wd guys won't have a problem at all.
