Ok fellas im going to upgrade here shortly after winter to 20's,
My question is which 20 width is the best choice.
20x10 will that stick out past fenders?

I have stock suspension with no air ride.

I dont want the tires to stick out past fenders.

That leads me to the next question which tire do i go with

The tire size that is?      325/60/20 will they stick out?

I want a cool tread but i also dont want the humming in the

tires from the tread!! LOL

thanks for any input

Andy

if you want the wheels to stick out past the fenders, the spec that you're looking for is "backspacing".  The lower the backspacing, the farther out the tires will stick, and the wider the track of the vehicle.

Toyo M/T's!! Aggressive tread pattern, hell of a good off road tire, and almost no road hum.. A little on the pricey side, but a great all around tire!
Another good tire is Nitto's Mud Grappler. Great in the sand and mud, but VERY LOUD on the road.
The only other tire i have used is the BFG AT. Good in the sand, long lasting, no road noise, but not good for mud (at least not in my experiences).
    For Rims I went with 20's that have 4 5/8'' backspace. The tires stick out a couple inches, but not so much that i worry about throwing rocks when off roading, or getting pulled over for having the wheels out too far. I went with 4 5/8'' because i plan on lifting mine(one day) and that seemed to be the standard recommened backspacing to use with most lifts.
With the tires that your looking at (325/60/20 = 35x13x20) you may want them to stick out a bit other wise u might have issues with the edge of the tire rubbing (frame or inner fender well).

For a 37x1350x17 it is $247 a tire. if you jump to an 18" it jumps up about $100 a tire. my recommendation, leave the stock 17s. and for 20s, its a pretty penny
