Default 305-55/20 on stock 20s?

Anyone have 305s on the stock 20s (2002-2005 RAM 1500)?
Do they stick out at all? Any pics appreciated.

I'm trying to decide whether to go with Wrangler Duratracs in 285/60-20 or 305/55-20.

305/50/20 fits but I don't know if there's enough clearance for the 55 series. That might be enough extra rubber that rubbing becomes an issue.

305's stick out a little, 305/55's will be a bit taller than what I have

Ok maybe it was 50s I was looking for. I have been looking at so many different tires lately.

That looks pretty sweet. Do you have a picture from along the side?
I am traveling on gravel roads from time to time, I don't want rocks and mud to be thrown all over the place because they stick out too much. But that doesn't look like much.

They don't stick out too much, besides it's the same width as an SRT-10 tire, just smaller rim (wish I had 20x10's). These pics are a bit old, before quite a few mods were done and/or stuff removed, but they're the same tires and wheels.

305s will throw stuff down the side of the truck. Fender flares are recommended, and if I wasn't so broke I'd have a set by now.

No, my truck is from TX, I am from NJ and have lived pretty much everywhere between CT and MS.

Ya that's what I figured. I might just go with 275s for now as they are round about 120$ cheaper a tire, plus the cost of fender flares (300$?) plus getting those painted (200$?) although I really like the look with the flares. And then there is this bathroom that has to be gutted... Can't have it all.
