I know to many tire treads but 1 more cause i need confirmation by someone having actually done it! These transforce suck! Want to go up to 285/65/20 on factory NE rims(20×9" i think) it should be a effectively a 1" taller tire with no width change. Considering 2 tires: falken wildpeaks or cooper xlt, the coopers seem to be .3" wider at same size. All factory truck, whos done it and what was results? Thanks guys

I have 285/65R20 Falken's on my truck. Absolutely no issues.
 
@Brutal_HO when you get a chance, can you measure your tire diameter? I know they should be 34.6 inches according to the web but I'm curious of actual measurements.

My TransForce measure almost 33 inches exactly and I'm curious how close it would be to my measurement.
 
I can try to measure but I currently have the tire size programmed for 2690 MM circumference to match the GPS speed.

Seems odd that the factory was 2640, but I never checked the accuracy before making the change.
 
i run a 35x12.5r20 on oem wheels and no issues except for extreme turning, youll be good.

What tires are you running and what's your opinion on their performance? In my reading (may not be accurate), it seems different tire manufacturers offer a 35 inch tire but the actual measurement is less than 35 inches. While that's not a problem, the variance between the tires could be if it comes down to millimeters for clearance.
