KMC Badlands???

I have been looking at KMC Badlands wheels in 20X9 with some 275/55/20 tires which are 32 inches tall and 9.4 wide at the tread. Does anyone have any idea if this setup will work on a non lifted 4X4? Does anybody have these and if so any pictures installed? And what are your thoughts on these wheels? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. How do you like the wheels? Do you know what the offset and backspacing is? How much further do they stick out compared to stock?

If my wife lets me get them it will be from the internet. On ebay I found a guy named Taylor McCabe with McCabe Motorsports who seems like a good guy. He has been very helpful so far. Hopefully the wife will let me get them.

You should be more than fine. I've got a 2wd with 22x10's and 305/45/22's and have no problems at all. The tires are 32" tall and 12.5" wide.

THose tires are too small for a 4x4, a 305/55/20 is as small as you should go IMO.

Thanks for the replies fellas. tcr, I was quoted a price with 305/50/20 but I was thinking of the 275/55/20 since they are about 1 inch narrower and I didn't know if I would get into some rubbing issues since I don't have a lift or a leveling kit.

I would look at 285/55 or 275/65s for tire height. Heck I just put 305/60/20s(lot's of $) on mine they are a 35/12.50/20 basically. You will have alot of fender space w/ the smaller tires on a 4x4. I think Morkable has the 305/50s, look at his pics, see what you think.

These are the 18" Badlands with some 275/70/18 tires. They measured out at 32.25 inches high. They work great on my 2WD with no rubbing at all.

gitchesum, where did you get your Badlands? I just ordered mine yesterday and found out today they are on backorder for 2-3 weeks.

Discount Tire had them shipped in in about a week or so.

$205 each for the 18X9 wheels

www.discounttire.com

You might have to call a store to have them look them up, they are not on the DT website.
