Default help!!!!

I have a 08 ram 1500 QC with 2" level in front and 2" blocks in the back. I want a more aggressive tire as the stockies suck. I want to go to a 305/55/20 but do not want to spend 305.00 a tire. I can get some cooper zeons 275/60/20 now for 153.00 a tire. I want my truck to have a mud look to it. Would the coopers at stock size give me the look that I am wanting or would I need to go to the bigger tire. Thanks for your help guys.

I got the stock 275/60/20 and the tread makes them look aggressive. Totally changes the tire look. Wider tire will def cost more or you could go with the 275/55/20's tha are about an inch shorter but are a lil wider for about the same price.

I think I would rather have the height than the width.

Maybe you could try a 275/65/20 which is a 34" tire with a lower cost. It's almost 11" wide. Just a thought.

I don't have 20's. I have 17's so I couldn't tell ya. Go to the manufacturers website and look up sizes. See what you would like, then compare prices like on tire.com. Something around 11 to 12 would be perfect as far as width. Go with what you can afford man. Atleast an a/t the treads would make it look better.
