Need some tires, will 305/50R20XL Cooper Zeon's fit?
So, my good-for-a-year's are almost completely bald (yep, it's been about 13 months since I got my truck). I live in western PA, and our winter is not letting up here... so I need some tires.
Here's what I'm working with, have a 2010 Sport quad cab and have the Mopar leveling kit installed. I have a set of wheel spacers sitting on my shelf, but never installed them. I really wanted a set of 285/55/20 BFG all terrain's, but their prices are just too much for me to swallow, so I'm looking at the Cooper Zeon 305/50R20XL tires. My main question is can I fit a 305/50R20XL tire under my stock truck with the Mopar 2" level kit? Will they rub? should I install the wheel spacers that are sitting on my shelf to correct any rubbing? Hoping someone else out there has already gone down this road so that I know what to expect. Thank you in advance for everyones' help! |
Yes. They will
|
Anyone else? Do you have pics or info on what size they actually are? I appreciate your response, but yes they will is not enough for me to pull the trigger.

The stock tire is plenty wide; any particular reson you want a wider tire?
You will lose fuel milage and your winter traction will not be as good. |
Why waste of time and spend double the money from the wider tires? I just put the 275/60/20 Cooper Zeon LTZs. There are great tires, much bigger than stock, and got them shipped to my door for $760. I wanted to do a leveling but didn't have the funds for that. So im running them stock and have no clearance/rubbing issues. I took them mudding and had them under water/mud and they performed extremely well. Also why would you get a 2" lift kit?

So, it sounds like the 305's aren't taller, just wider, right? Anyone know the equation to convert them into inches? Isnt like 305/50 plus the rim diameter for overall height?
I wouldn't mind getting something a hair wider to make it sit a little more substantial, but nothing that'll require fender flares. Also, I got the 2" level kit because I hated the stock nose dive look. |
Oh ok. Level kit is understandable. I thought it said lift kit. Two different beasts.

Yes they are wider, and yes you will lose a bit of gas mileage. There is a SLIGHT rub on the sway bar at full lock, and I believe its only on left turns. I paid $800 for all for from tiresavings.com vs the $450 per tire, the shops wanted locally. |
You have any pics of your truck? The difference in cost is only about $50 for all 4, and I kinda like the idea of a wider stance.
