Wheel/Tire Combo

Seems that many people are able to get 315/70/17's on without doing anything to the suspension (particularly BFG AT KO's) though a leveling kit should clear any rubbing issues.

Question is this: If I use a leveling kit will I be able to squeeze 325/60/20's under there?

Is 325 too much tire for 90% highway? Would I be better served with 315's?

Thanks in advance.

I had 325/70-17 on H2 wheels on the stock suspension with minimal rubbing. With 2" springs I had zero rubbing.

remember 325 is the width and that tire on 20s will probably rub since most 20s are 10 " so I would say no. Also on stock wheels with 315 70 17 snot all rubbin is resolved by leveling they still sit too far in and rub the control arms at full lock that is why so may people like myself use the H2s as the backspcaing is not so extreme and the stick out about one inch give ot\r take to prevent the rubbing.

Thanks guys, I totally flubbed that one, thinking that it was height, not width that was the main factor.

Now if I could find some H2 wheels Got a laramie and it came with ... Hubcaps. W T F

I just ordered new wheels and tires so I will probably be getting rid of my H2 wheels. Let me know if you are interested.
