After months of searching and photoshopping, I ordered a set of wheels in the factory size (being cheap). After a week, the shop called to say that the wheels were not available (someone had packaged the wrong bolt pattern in the boxes), and that they would not go back into production for 2-3 months. The wheels that I really wanted looked best in 20's, so I bit the bullet. Another week and they finally arrived. 20" Black Rockstars with 35x12.50x20 MT ATZ's.

Thanks, I like them better on the truck than in the photoshop pictures. I will get better photos with a real camera than the one on my phone.

I got the ATZ's to and I am very pleased with the handling and the looks, which do look way better in person. Here's a pic.

HummerPlumber,

Did you have any issues getting your ATZ's balanced? I was on the highway for the first time today, and it feels like the tires are out of balance. I guess I will have to go back to have them checked.

Yes they had a very hard time balancing them. I dropped the truck off at 8am and they just got them done at 5pm. They had to reset them on the rims a couple of times but they did get them perfect. No off balance at all, very smooth driving.

There's always Equal if they can't get them right.

guys....when getting tires larger than 33's installed DO NOT go with the standard balancing procedures that are used on regular passenger tires...They will not balance out right and even if they do get them to balance out they will lose balance the first good bump you hit. WHen getting tires of this size mounted go to a big rig truck tire place (18 wheeler tires) They know how to balance them using products like equal. Basically it's a sand like material that is injected into the tire and as you drive it collects onto the low spots of the tire and self balances it....the plus is that it will always keep it balanced no matter what type of terrain you drive over. I've used it for a few years now and will never use lead weights to blance a tire again.
