305 55r20s on a 3.5 lift

[Toolanddiemaker]

Hey guys new member here just bought a 21 1500 5.7 a few months ago and just got around to installing a readylift 3.5. I thought long and hard about what size tires to get and finally decided on 305 55r20s due to having 3.21 gears and all the highway driving I do on a daily basis I love the look of 35s but from all the reading I did it scared me away. Now unfortunately im having doubts on the look and im contemplating going to 35s. I was just wondering what you guys think of the current look of my truck and if I should just roll with what I have or go with 35s iv been starring at pics of combos for so song im getting confused lol. I just don't want to look like I missed leg day thanks in advance

I have the 3.5 RC Lift and just had my wheels and tires installed today.

Black Rhino 20x9 -18 offset
Toyo AT3 35x12.50 r20

Will require some trimming up front but I really like the way it turned out.

Last two photos are at full lock.

Looks great man! 35s deff fill out the wheel well I like that look.

It looks good, but I personally would want a little more tire. I myself, just went from a 285/55/22 to a 295/55/22 and it's a noticeable difference and balances out the truck better imo. I think the 285/60 BFG would be perfect.

I think we are in very similar situations. I drive crazy miles because I am in sales and just traded in my 19 on a 21. I also have the 3.21 gears (I ordered it that way) and I put the 3.5” RC lift and swapped the 33“ tires and wheel setup I had on my 19 and honestly I don’t hate the look. I thought I was going to move up to 35’s but I think I’m going to stick with 33’s for the MPG benefits and just like a little more room in the wheel wells. I figure guys running 6“ lifts have 35’s why not a 3.5” lift with 33’s!

OP I like your look. The 35’s look too stuffed IMO. Even if you decide to upsize I’d go 34” not 35

Thanks. I really like both sizes. Was torn on what to do. I think seeing the comparison is helpful.

Yea that was my thoughts on the 6inch with 35s as well. Your truck looks well balanced I like it, it deff helps to see the same setup thanks! I don't hate my look I was just having second thoughts I have freinds with extream setups and they were giving me crap but....they don't have to drive long miles lol. If I didn't have such a long drive to work 6 days a week I would have deff put a 6inch lift with 35s or even 37s.

6" is too much for 35's IMO, that much lift needs 37". 4" is perfect for 35's. If I wasn't a chicken on cutting my frame I would have done that over my 3.5" lift. That being said, with your long commute, I think you're good. I'm looking over your pictures and your wheel offset, more than "offsets" the 33" tire size and still allows your truck to remain stout looking. I have 3.92's and with my 35's, I've lost about 1.5-2mpg (speedo adjusted).

Just got some 305/55 installed today on 20x10. Leveled with Bilstein 6112 at clip 6. Think I need some org rear springs
