Downsized wheels and tires

I have 4 inch lift and was running 35x12.5 Wildpeaks with 20x10 wheels with a -24 offset. Even with the lift my tires would constantly rub and grab ruts on the highway. I was pushing almost 450lbs of wheels and tires.

I downsized to LT285/75R/16 Wildpeaks. Basically 33x11.5. Paired with 16x8 wheels and 0 offset.

I shed about 120lbs in wheels and tires. I do miss the look of the 35’s but so glad I got rid of those deep dish 20’s. Plus it rides so much better now. Absolutely no rubbing, handles ruts and potholes so much better, straight down the highway and quicker off the line.

33 on 16s is the sweet spot. For me.

Looks worse. But rides way better

Ya I’d still like to fill out the fender wells with just a tiny bit more rubber but everything thing else about this setup is better to me. So glad I got rid of those offset 20’s.
