I just order some FalkenZiez S/T Z01 295/50/20 do you thinkl I'll have issue's with the fit....I checked out the tire calculator and its the only true size that replaces my 265/70/17 to 20" Speedo reading will be the same. The revolutions will be the same. The hight will be the same. The circomfrence will be the same. The only thing will be the side wall will be about 7.3" (17" rims) compared to 5.8" (20" rims) low profile.

Tell me what you think..

since your changing your rims from 17's to 20's it's going to depend on the rim you get... your right about the size being the same height but your new tires are about 1.18" wider than the 17's... as long as your rims have enough offset/backspace to clear the upper A arm you should be fine.. i put 305/55R20 on mine. i don't remember the offset/backspace my new rims have but it only rubbed a little once in a while when i backed up at full turn. anyway.. it's going to depend on your rim.

there is no lift on it in those pictures.. i have installed the bilstein adjustable struts and rear spacers.. i added the full lift the struts allowed and installed 1.5" spacers in the rear.

Any 4x4 problems with the bilsteins? I know someone else had the dreaded shake.

I have the cooper zeon's ltz also 305/50/20's and they rock big time. Very aggressive look. If i turn it all the way to the right it does rub just a hair but it is very minor. I'll post some pic's later today.

Stvsherrod - What kind of backspacing do you have on those wheels? You also said absolutely no lift right?
