Default Need Help ASAP

Hey guys I came across a really good deal on a wheel & tire combo and need to make decision on them tonight or he is selling to another guy that wants them. I have a 04 screw xlt 4x4 with a 2" as level kit. I am looking at purchasing 20x 9 +30 offset and 6" back space incubus 501 wheels and lt305/55r20 nitto terra grapplers. Will this fit with out any issues? How far will they stick out compared to stock? Thanks in advance for your replys.

Pulled from the sticky in this forum - you should be fine. That tire size is a 33x12.00x20 -


This is for 2004-2008.

On a stock truck without leveling kit you can run 33X12.5" tires if it is a 4WD and 31X12.5" tires if it is a 2WD, using stock wheels.

On a leveled truck(2" kit and larger) you can run 35X12.5" tires on a 4WD and 33X12.5" tires on a 2WD truck, using the stock wheels.

Using aftermarket wheels you can run 35s on a 4WD if the wheels follow these guidelines:
-For an 8" wide wheel the backspacing is 5.5 inches.
-For and 8.5" wide wheel the backspacing needed is 5-6 inches.
-For an 9" wide wheel the backspacing is 4.5-5.5 inches.

If the wheel specs are not listed about you will more than likely have to run 33s or even smaller to avoid too much rubber and trimming. These specs are the basics for tires fitting well but you could run 35s if the specs are very similar but you will face bad rubbing.

... and btw, when a seller says, "someone else is waiting and going to take it if you don't buy now/today/tomorrow"... 90% of the time he's bullsh***ing.

Thanks for the quick response. Desert I understand that but luckily the seller was my best man in my weading and he is a dealer. Someone ordered them but didn't pick them up and now he is trying to unload them. I'm gonna get them and will wait till after winter to mount so the salt doesn't mess the chrome up. I'll post pics once I get them on.
