Why are you second guessing?
What photos would you like I can go take some?

I’m second-guessing a lift and bigger tires because yours looks so good on 20s and no lift.

Thanks... ... was nervous couldn't find any where where 20" would fit but they do and so happy... looks like a bronco now lol !

Thanks. Wasn't sure if you ment you liked it or didn't like it so you where second guessing....
They are bigger ( tire that is ....wider and taller than stock ) but same as everyone else 245 but due to the 20 inch rim had to go 50 instead of the 65 but is the same outside diameter as everyone that went bigger ... if that makes sense.
I saw everyone did 17 or 18 so needed to be different lol..

That is a very nice looking mall crawler you’ve got. No shame in that, it looks great and it is what you want it to be.

Really nice look — definitely a different route than usual. Should be great on road which, I think, is where most of us spend waaay too much of our time.

Just got home to measure.
Stock tires ( my winters but stock size )

New rims and tires :

So almost no loss of sidewall 4" stock and 4"on the 20"

It's on the chart ?

What’s the offset on the rims?

+ 40 I believe.

I'm sorry I like lowered vehicles. I really thought about lowering the BS and everyone told me no way. I could see that dropped 2-3 inches with those 20,s and look bad azz.

Do it, I'm interested to see what it looks like. Who cares what some clowns on a forum think? It's your car, do what makes you happy and let the naysayers cry into their keyboards.

How’s the tire clearance? Are you close to rubbing anywhere? I’m looking for 20s for my BS but I want less offset so the rim has some depth to it.

Why is this even a question? You can probably fit 24’s on the BS. The issue will be finding tires low profile enough to fit. It is not the size of the wheels that matter (until they are too small to fit over the brakes). The real issue is the diameter of the tire and the width of both.

Clearance is perfect. Have no rubbing at all lock to lock. But it's close like maybe 2 mm from the wheel liners and mud flaps at full lock... also fooled around in the yard ( have 5 acres) and still no rubbing.. i know its no trail but thats all i can report to date... opinion is if you go with a wheel which more depth the wheel will stick out farther and will rub on wheel wheel liner... I believe..... not an expert lol...

Your absolutely correct. I chose a bigger rim and a bigger tire so I still had same sidewall as stock... I just chose 20" instead of 17" or 18". But chose the same bigger tire diameter as most people on this form The form is amazing and helped me make my decisions.
