What size tires are you guys running? I'm looking at 265/30/19 for the front and 295/30/20 in the rear. Will this cause any problems?

I run a 255/30/19 front and a 305/25/20 in the rear and have no issues. I used to run a 285/30 in the rear but the wheel was too wide and the tire looked funny.

What size wheels are you running? I'm looking to have a 20x10 on the rear.

I run a 295/30/20 in the rear and a 245/35/19 in the front. The rear rubbed on my lowered bolts, but I love the way it looks.

The 285/30-20 will look fine on a 10" wheel. I had them before getting the 295/30-20, I have an 11" wide wheel.
