20x8.5 tires

whats the smallest tire to put on a 20x8.5, in thickness and profile

I got a 255/35, but I have seen a 245/30 already.

Ya my friend Will has a S-10 i did and he has 245 35's on the rear and 225 or 235 40's on the front and it sits flat on the ground. He beats the shit out of that truck but since he put the 20's on it he has settled down some but danm those 35's are like having a piece of string wrapped around that rim.

do ya have any pics to see how they look on a truck thanx for the help

Here's a 245/35/20 on a 8.5" wheel to give you the general idea. They suck for ride quality. When running this size tire I recommend a good brand of wheel to help with bending issues. I've seen guys who run wheels like eagle alloys and have bent like 3 wheels, which in the end they've spent more than if they had have just bought a good set.

A 245/30/20 is 25.79" high and a 245/35/20 has an overall diameter of 26.75".

well see i have a 20 and its an 8.5 but i want a good size tire pretty low profile but still a good to drive daily and i also dont want it to be wide so i dont have any problem tuckin

i've got 225/30/20 on mine

thats perfect thanx guys for the help

that's what i'm talking about!!!

today i was moving some tires around and found a pair of brand new falken 245-30-20's, damn they're nice and small!!!
