I found exactly what I wanted! 20" Roush wheels proprietary for my truck and a decent price of $354 each at Summit. Everyone else wants $442 each. WooHo!

What size rim and tire on that setup?

I have an 04 silverado 2500 and I want to put a set of 20's on it. I am undecided on the tire size. I know the safe size is 275/60/20 but I am thinking on the 275/65/20's.

Going off of memory, they were 315/55/20 Mickey Thompson ATZ's. They worked out to a 33" tire. I still have them in my storage shed so I will check next week. I need to get off my ass and sell them this spring.

I had 3" lift keys, Bilstein shocks, and cognito upper control arms in the front. In the rear I had Bilstein shocks and 2" blocks. The truck rode like stock with the upper control arm upgrade.

Nice...I might have been a buyer but I don't want to lift....Level maybe but not lift. My shocks are tired and I have been thinking on the bilsteins.

3" is considered a level, not lift. Most people just do the ebay keys (which I did) and shock extensions to get the height I did. The trick is with the upper control arms. Stock arms hit the bump stops and ride like a buck board. I only stuffed the 2" blocks in the rear because I liked the rake. This same wheel package works with stock control arms but you won't love the ride, but that will happen as soon as you crank the keys no matter if you leave the stock wheels on. I only had to trim the edge of the front valance and suck in the front ebrake cable with a big zip tie and had no rubbing issues.

Thanks. I really wanted a simple wheel just like this one and it will be easy to clean too. I ordered 275/60/20 tires as mentioned earlier by someone. They should fit easily since they are only 2" bigger diameter. Got Firestone Destinations from Tirerack. They have a higher load rating than the stock tires too.

These wheels are no longer available . There are two used sets on e-bay but both have flaws. If anyone knows where I can find a similar wheel please let me know. They must be 20" and 6x135 mm bolt circle. A simple, heavily chromed 5 or 6 spoke wheel. The new tires are here and waiting.

Both sets totally flawed? Could you buy both sets, and make one set of 4 that works? Then sell the bad ones?
