I have researched this for months, but still have not got the question answered if the 275/65/20's will look too skinny? Planning on going with Terra Grappler (cheaper than Toyo) All other things being considered, this is my final concern. PLEASE HELP!

I personally think that 275's will too skinny, but that's just me. Is there a 285 or 295 you can try? If you're going to get Terra Grapplers, go for the G2, the new version. MUCH better looking and supposed to be better wearing.

I on the other hand will be going with Toyo AT2s. I think they are just a better tire.

I have 275's and they do look a bit skinny but that's all I could fit on the stock rim without any rub. I can just barely fit a finger between the tire and UCA. Of course I could have gotten other wheels or perhaps spacers but this will do for now.

Really? What wheels do you have? I know plenty of people running 305s on stockers.

I have Coopers but I also have Icon UCA's, that's likely the cause.

You want to measure to the ground to the fender? Front and rear

My 305 trails with the side lugs were about a 1/16 of an inch from rubbing on the ucas so I put .25" wheel spacers on. They hit half way down on the tire nubs is how close they were. I can't even get half of my finger between there. If you can put a finger in there you have a mile in my book haha.
