Hi Guys,
I need some help. I just put 20 x 9.5 +20 offset rims and 275 45 20 tires on my 2007 XLT.

I knew that the increase in tire size over the stock 7.5 inch wide rims and
245 65 17 tires would change the ride charachteristis, but i wasnt expecting the truck to pull all over the place whenever i come accross a rut or groove in the road.

Did I go too wide on the tires?
Did I go too wide on the rims?
both?

I thought i was being carful by getting rims with a back space that is identical to stock.

Would going down to 265 50 20's make a difference?

Anyone else with that same size rim or tire having the same issue?
