Default 285 65R 20 BFG's on 05 dodge

Here's some pics of what 285 65R 20 BFG's look like on a stock 05 Ram 4x4 if anyone is curious. The closeups are of the front. They don't rub at all, but I haven't taken them hardcore wheeling yet. Oh, and sorry about the dirty truck. I drive through a wildlife refuge every day to work and the bugs love me, LOL. Let me know what you think.

I have always liked the look of an agressive tire on those stock 20's.. Looks great.. Great choice.

How do they ride? I finally got Dodge to replace my stock Goodyears today, due to vibration, and they vibrate just as bad! I'm looking for a smoother, quieter tire. Thanks!

I haven't touched the torsion bars at all. Of course I can't speak for whoever owned it before me. But they don't rub and ride great. Just slightly stiffer than the stock goodyears due to it being a higher load rating tire (E). The only real issue was the hit in the wallet, about $1600 with an alignment and roadhazard. That was at Sears though, so someone might be able to find them cheaper but I haven't been able to find them less than 300 or so a piece.

snake, those look great. My truck is having 325/60R20s put on them right now, roughly the same size as yours (just a little wider). The photo's don't really look like it, but you have a leveling kit installed on that truck?
