Ok. Checked out the wifey's Explorer and my Expy this week and they are both going to need some tire help. Her's is getting four new shoes and I have hers all figured out. My Expy....

Wheel and tire time. I was looking at getting these wheels in 20 x 9.5 in chrome. They are V-Tec Raptors...

Wheel Details - Discount Tire Direct

And putting these tires on them. They are Cooper Zeon LTZs. The tires are available in 275/55, 275/60, 285/50, and 305/55. The 305 is I know is probably not going to fit without the leveling kit. Of the other options, would the 285 fit without issues on a 9.5" rim or should I go with the 275?

Cooper Zeon LTZ tires listed by size

I'll be ordering within a month or two so I have time for shipping and mounting before her car is up for a sticker so I figured I'd see what you guys thought on those sizes before I got into it.

Thanks!

 

I have the Ford accessory wheels 22 X 9.5 no rubbing issues tire size 285-45-22 so you should be fine

 

Thank you for the reply Welfare! You think I can go with the 285 or the 305? I'll have to look at the size differences between the 22 and 20 and try to come up with something.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...lol!
