Wheel size.

[SilentJoe]

I’m currently running a 295/65/20 on truck. They are getting low, bout time to replace. I’m thinking of going down a size to 295/60/20. Anyone run this size on stock suspension?

Curious as to why you are considering jumping down a size?

Might not level it now, and for some reason don’t like the look of it stock with the 35’s. For some reason on my truck it looks funny. Plus if I’m not going to raise it, I don’t need 35’s.

On my 2500 stock was 285/60-20, I had planned to replace wheels, possibly drop to 18's, but decided to save the money and stay with the stock 20's, I actually think they look decent enough on my truck. So I went just slightly larger to 285/65-20. I really like the difference, my wife doesn't mind the slight increase in height mostly due to having the motorized steps. And I'm constantly climbing into the bed or standing on a tire to bungee stuff down, so I don't want a truck any taller. So I'm really happy, will stick to this size, no plans to level either.

I say all that as background, your sizing decision is interesting. Here's all the diameters compared. Your 295 choice is maybe 1/2" wider than the 285's I have.

285/60-20 - 33.5"
285/65-20 - 34.6"
295/60-20 - 33.9
295/65-20 - 35.1

I might suggest instead of moving to the 295/60's maybe go with 285/65's like I did. Just a thought.
