Default 20" Wheels Tires

I have moto metal wheels 951 chrome, bilstein 5100 shock with 2" level and firestone air bags on the rear. What tire size should I put on my F150 2wd?
275 60 20 (33)
305 55 20 (33.2)
285 60 20 (33.5)
275 65020 (34.1)

It depends on how much trimming you want to do up front. The 275/60's are probably going to fit the best, but I think the 305's would look the best, IMHO.

I have 275/60/20's.
Wish I had a taller and little wider tire.
Just jumping up to 275/65/20's will be another $50-70 per tire. Thats the reason I didnt go bigger.

IMO I dont like 55/20. I like beefier tires. So I asy 285560/20 or 275/65/20.

305/55/20 are Beefier than 275/60's and 285/60's. When I put my rims on I went with 275/60's but thought they looked skinny on a 9" rim, especially when I parked next to my buddy's truck with 305/55's. I ended up switching to 305's in less than a week.

What kind of tire? Don't know if the brand your looking at has them but check on 295/60s (34.25ish x12.25ish) I'm looking at 295/65s right now

Looking at BFG T/A - Terra Grappler and Dura Trac what I have now is 285 50 20 nitto terra grappler. With the 20 X 9 wheels I do not want them to look skinny. The nitto looks beefier but do not fill the wheel well.

I've seen quite a few trucks running 295/60r20 trail grapplers with no rubbing, (but they're leveled 2-2.5" in the front) same as you. What's the offset on your wheels?

Stop in the other day at NTB & Discount Tires. Sale associate is little concern if the 305 55 20 will rub.

Diameter-20" / Width-9" / Offset- (+18) /Backspace - 5.71'' /Bolt Pattern - 6x135

That's the same rim specs that I have and the tire is basically the same same (33x12.50)... I don't rub at all (2.5" level)
