Leveling truck with 5100's, will 295/55-20s fit?

Hey guys, this next weekend I plan on buying a set of Bilstein 5100's to put on the front of my truck to set at the #3 setting (1.75" of lift if im not mistaken) to level my truck.

Im a little different in what kind of tires I can choose from because I have 20" wheels. This being said, its kind of hard to find insightful advice from people because most guys don't run 20" wheels. I would love to be able to fit a set of 295/50-20 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tires on after I level my Tacoma. But if I cannot, I will just have to settle for something else.

Its not a 4wd truck so this is just for looks. My question is, can I fit the tires on the truck with the modifications i plan on doing to get the look i want.
Thanks guys

 

What size tire you running now?

 

They are 31.61x11.61 tires they should fit with front mud flaps removed and minor triming.

 

What is the backspacing and width of the wheels? Going to be close.....

 

265/50-20's

They are street tires. Something the lady had on the truck before I bought it. Just a low profile street tire that's all. A 30 second glance and I could tell I could put a little bit bigger tire as is (something about another inch in diameter) but Id like to go with my plan.

 

Just saw you have the factory 20s. I would definately test fit the tires.

 

Specification..... Sidewall .... Radius ... Diameter .....Circumference...... Revs/Mile
295/55-20....... 6.4in........ . 16.4in .... 32.8in .......103.0in .............. 615

how close do you think it might be? I dont mind taking off my mud flaps.

 

I ran 305/50/20 & rubbed a lot on 2.5" of lift and 5" back spacing.

 

are you sure you got the tire size right? I didn't think they made a 305/50-20, I know they make a 305/55-20, and that tire is 33.2 inches so I can understand where you may have rubbing there.

 

certain

 

Just realized you were in stafford, If I had the tires still I'd let you put them on, flex & stuff but I only have the wheels now.

 

oh you have the Terra Grapplers A/T!?

I may wind up having to go with those, but Im trying to get the Trail Grapplers M/T to fit. The smallest they come in for a 20" wheel is 295/55.

If i cant get that to fit ill wind up going with the Terra Grappler A/Ts like you have there.

Hows the ride on those 20s?

That would be fun

Here is another member with 20" KMC Rockstars on 295/55R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers M/T
hes got the look im going for but I dont know what he had to do to his truck to get them under there.


ETA: found it, hes got a 3" toytec lift on with Light Racing UCAs

 

Ride was good, no complaints, huge foot print & good in the sand.

 

Plus those particular wheels only weighed 26 lbs for the set.

 

I know, 26 lbs is pretty nice compared to most others. I really want this set up under my truck.

...just thinking here, since im getting these 5100's next week to lvl my truck.... What If i just set them to 2.5" to fit the tires on? Would that be tall enough? What would I have to do to the rear to make it lvl?

 

Cheapest way would be blocks, best way would be a leaf pack, best bang for the buck would be an add-a-lead.

 

i think ill do 5100's at 2.5" and a pair of 1.5" AALs in the rear.

that should get a 295/55-20 under my truck with at the very most, minor trimming.

 

You will still rub just not as much as 1.75, Do some plastic trimming & cab mount chop and you'll be good.

 

you really think a cab mount chop would be all that necessary? i mean, they are only 11.6 inch wide. Ill give you yes they are almost 33" tall but Ive seen others run that big of tire on a 2.5" lift.
