305/55/20 = 33.2x12/20

It should fit......my 33x13/18 rubs SLIGHTLY only when the wheel is locked, so since you are looking at a 12" you should be fine. (**disclaimer**I am no "tire guy" though)

one shop told me 305 /55/20 will not fit on my stock 20 rim and would probably rub on the inside ...if thats true that sucks
anyone running this set up let me know

ive learned that some shops are just fcukin dumb. a guy i go to (use to) told me that there was no way in hell gonna get a 34" tire in my truck. he told me i was gonna have to grind the metal on my truck to get it to not rub....damb ***......after putting 35's on my truck.....i realized i could have got 37's in there without a problem!

I run 305/50/20 with no problem. Not sure about 55 series but it appears I'd have the room to do it.

thanks guys for the feed back
do you think running 305 /55 is to wide for the fender well or should i stick with the 305/50
i only like the 55 besause it it taller and wider than stock
i heard 50 is smaller than stock can you notice a big difference???
