Please advise! I bought 20x10 rockstars and I need to keep my stock height so I'm sticking with the 35's on 20x10 rims but I need to know if I can get 13.5 width tires on it? I'm thinking bf km2's or Mickey thompson Baja claw

Here's the look i'm going for.

Yes, they will fit perfectly with no rubbing, if you get the right backspacing. You will need 4.25-4.75" backspacing 4.5" is perfect with those tires.

BTW, I ran this exact setup with the Baja Claw Radials and had 45K miles on those tires and still had 1/2 the tread left when I changed over to 37s. This was without rotating in the spare!

Now that I think about it, I still have a brand new spare tire in the garage that was never driven on the pavement! If you want it, $100 + shipping and it's yours.

These were the best logest lasting offroad tires I ever had and will definitely use them again.

He'll yeah.. I'll take it. Did you by chance try them in the snow? I heard they were pretty bad but who knows.. The wheels that I bought are a 20x10 rockstars with a -24 offset. Not sure what back spacing they are? I think they are 4.5" I didn't realize that they came with a different backspacing option?..


How was the sound compared to your other tires? Did your mileage drop? Why did you get rid of them?


Let me know about the tire. Thanks

18's with 35's worked for me ona couple trucks without issue.

20's on 37 woudl be great too IMO.

20's on 35's may be a little too low profile for airing way down. But if you hit one of those rims they are super easy to touch up. I had those on my last H2. 35 12.50 18 toyo mt on 18 x 9. 5"bs. no rubbing at all, no hitting that rear air susp sensor either. SO, with a 10" wide rim, and 4.75 you should be good. you can always do that rear air susp sensor mod where you flip it the back side of the arm to make a little more room.

No problem at all with bending rims and very little rock rash. There is more meat on a 35 on a 20 in rim than you think and the 13.50 really gives you alot of rim protection when you are aired down. I usually run 18-19ish psi and have not had problems with popping beads either.

As the tire is aired down and gets "flatter" the rim is more protected from teh obstacle:

Not sure that a 20" mud tire is considered low profile . "Luck", my friend, is just another statistic. Some play the odds and some don't. :excited:
