new wheels and tires question

Postby cripk8 » Wed Aug 20, 2014 11:06 am

Hey guys I've been creeping around this site but I can't seem to find a good answer. I have a 2012 silver edition. I want to see about going from the factory 17s to a 20" wheel with Duratracs. can anyone tell me if this can be done without a lift or plastics mod? if not then we'll the 2" spacer lift work? I'd prefer to not lift it if can avoid it . thanks in advance for the help!

Ideally you'd want a 265 50 20, but GYDT's smallest 20" tire comes in 275 55 20, which is 31.9" diameter compared to your 30.6" tall tire. You might be able to do it, but it's a slight risk if you don't want to modify anything.

I think it can be done without 2" spacer because with a 2" spacer, even the 275 55's might look a little small.
