I have this size and hate it. Definitely not beefy at all.

You do realize that those won't fit with the stock rims right? You will need spacers or new wheels with more backspacing or they will rub.

Notice that gHemi is sittin on a lift too. You can go taller and slightly wider on the stock 20's but be careful of going too wide. I am dropping down to 17's with a -12mm offset with a leveled front end and should be able to handle 305/70's with no problem.

There is also a good 1/2"+ more room for wider tire fitment on the '02-'05 4x4s over all the 4x2s and the '06+ 4x4s due to the torsion bar fronts. What fits a torsion front might be too wide for all the coil fronts...

gHemi, for some 20's that's not a bad look at all. On some smaller rims, I'd want more sidewall, but on 20's that's a pretty sweet look.

That's where the younger crowd and I tend to differ. The trend is toward larger wheels and less sidewall but ALL the advantages goes to smaller wheels and more sidewall...

Agree Hammer. I'm a little old school as well. I'm not saying I prefer what gHemi has, but for a 20" wheel, that rubber profile is not bad at all. I'm looking to move down to a 17. But I remember when going to a 17 was a rare move up. I distinctly remember the day I was finally able to save up enough to put some chrome 15" wagon wheels with some BFG KO AT 10.50's on them on my Yota 4x4. I thought that was HUUUUGE.
