20' wheel + AT Tire????

[Paul Torrez]

BF Goodrich makes the AT Ko in a 285x55x20 flavor to go with a 20" wheel. But that size tire is about the equivelent of a 32''. This would def not fit on the stock suspension. What I am thinking is that I would have to install a moderate, say 2'' lift in order to put this wheel and tire combo. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Has any one done this? I know for sure that I DO NOT want a street tire/lowered ST look with a 20" wheel. My truck is a 4x4 and is not meant to be low to the ground. Thanks all!!!

I am glad this forum respondes back when you post. ( Did you catch my sarcasim) At least when I owned a Jeep the guys over at jeepin.com were always quick to help. Is there a better form to use for a ST owner?

Sometimes you have to be patient and wait for the right person to read your question. I don't know the answers and really don't care about big tires, lifts or lowers. But, since you were so concerned about getting a response........................

tirerack.com has some options for larger wheels. It will be hard to find good off-roading tires for larger rims though. Most serious off-roaders use stock-sized rims, because they want to keep the extra rubber between the ground and their wheels, especially when they have to lower the tire pressure for certain terrains.

Thanks Nelson for the response.
