So I just finished up my 1st mod...TT. I'm happy about that. I got a legitimate 2" out. I'm contemplating warrior shackles in the rear. Billets are in the mail...and right now I am trying to answer the question that has been in my head since I got the X. Do I want to go up to a 31" tire? Or do I want the classy a** 20" and low profile tire. The truth is there will be no "real" offroading in this truck. However, I'm a Big guy (hence the name) and I like to ride high. My original post asked if anyone knew if there was a way to ride high in style. By that I mean are there meaty tires out there like the BFG TA's (or similar) that can fit 20" rim on them. Help me out fellas.

Also my original factory wheels are chrome but they are rusting on teh edges....got any suggestions...I think replacements from the dealer are pricey!
 






there are but no meaty bfgs in a small sidewall...... well not that you are going to be able to fit with a tt alone
 






small sidewall?
 






small sidewall meaning low profile tire
 






So I'd have to do a body lift to get that type of a tire on w/ a 20" rim? What about a kick up from the factory tires...but not quite a 31incher?
 






I think you're pretty stuck on 18s for now. The only tires I've seen for 20's are like over 40". But 18's with some Mud Terrains would look sweeeeet. :cool:
 






Yes, yes they would......:D
 






Any word on the aforementioned factory wheels?
