I have a 04 1500 5.7 4wd Slt Quad Cab and I was wondering what size tire I should get next time around, the truck has New Shocks and bushings not really looking to do a lift kit at this time. For the most part the truck sits kinda level slight rake to the front. Thanks

P.S Leaning toward BFG or Nitto.

If you are not lifting the truck then either the 275 or 305 will work. The 275/60r20 is 33" tall, 10.8" wide. The 305/55r20 is 33.2" tall, 12" wide. You will not be able to get the 35X12.50s to work without at least a leveling kit in the front and even then it would depend on the offset of the wheels that you use.

So I can use the 305/55r20 on stock rims with no level and no spacer?

You sure can. I did it years ago with a 2wd and no problems.

If you 'do' decide to change wheels now or in the future the 305/45/22 is about as close as you can get in overall diameter to the original 275/60/20 :thumb:.
PS: You will need a 10" wide wheel or at least a 9.5" to step up to the 22's.

I don't want to change rims at this point.

I am just looking for a tire that will look nice on the truck, Wish I could see different sizes in person.

Its hard to tell by the picture but did they look a bit bigger and nicer looking on the truck then the stock size?

How much difference is there really looks wise and size between the 305/55/20 & 35 12.50-20, They both are about the same price, which would be the better one to go with?

Gotcha, How do I know how wide my rims are,m I have the 20's off 06 and up trucks.

Well I know I asked this question a while ago But I finally replaced my tires, I ended up just going with a Stock size 275/60/20. I went with a Toyo Open County AT 3. So far I am very happy with them I have about 5 Miles on them lol. If I was going to change the rims I probably would have gone bigger but for the amount I use this truck I just didn't go that route.
