Message:
I have found a package deal of rims and tires I want online.
the tire options they give are 285-50-20 or a 31.22 inche tire. and 275-45-r20 29.74 inch tire.
I have a 2wd dakota and presently it is lifted 3inches I would probable remove this lift setup. but would be riding stock height aside from possible a 2inch drop in the back.
My thinking is I would be able to get the285-50 r20 under the truck at stock height on a 20-8.5inch rim 4.25backpacing.
presently I have 31-12.50 procomp exterrains on 15X10 inch weld rims. 3.63 backspacing. I have the lift do to the width of this setup.

They might fit, but that's a HUGE tire. The stock tires on my dad's Hemi are 275/45/20. And you're wanting a wider tire with an even higher aspest ratio. Translation- HUGE sidewalls. Probably won't look right on your Dak:( I'm wanting to get 20"s for my r/t and if I do I'm going with 255/35/20's. Hope that helps you out a little bit.

keep in mind, I am at the ride height of a stock 4x4. I also would rather not drop. the package deals I have seen offer the 275-45-20 or the 285-50-20. I have found one good package with 275-50-20 that may be a good choice.
I don't want blades or bands I'm going for more of a 2003 4x4ram on 20's type of look if that makes sense.

conig-
I get what you're saying. It's your truck, and if that's what you want, then go for it. If other people don't like your idea, screw 'em! 275/50/20s would be closer to the size of the tires on the 20" Rams (275/45/20 for both 2wd and 4wd). Either way, as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Good luck!

I hope no one thought I was flaming them. I do appreciate the replies.
I know I am going for a different look then most people would wth 20's. roads around here suck and with my 17's and 255-50-17 tires with a 2inch drop in the back. I snagged on things all the time, plus there were alot of dirt roads I had to go down I got stuck on too. So I need my ground clearance. I know a body dropped and bagged dak would look incredible too. lol

Yeah man, go for what you want. I don't think it will look bad, since you're not lowering it. I was thinking about getting 20's for my r/t, but decided against it because it will slow me down too much. I really like the look, but I'm not willing to sacrifice performance for looks:)
