    Question ideas or opinions anyone?

    I have 2007 (NBS) Z71 Reg. Cab. I have the stock 18"s and I have already installed the front leveling kit a few months ago. Im looking at a tire/wheel pkg that is a 20X10 wheel with 33x12.5x20 tire. The backspacing on these wheels say that its -12. The online tire calculator says with those new tire/wheel size it will clear on the inside, but it will stick out and extra 2.9". Does anyone think of that as too much or is it ok? Im curious on how that would look. The wheel/tire package looks really awesome. Im just wondering if I may run into any snags along the way...any input would be appreciated, thanks

    I think it would look very agressive
    Which tire and wheel??


    Also keep in mind that when you have a tire that sticks out past the fender every litte puddle will "flng" up all over the truck, same w mud. Just a thought,,

    The Knight Chrome finish looks great. You might want to slap on some bush whacker fender flares an all four wells. Those will help keep the over splash down and protect your paint.
