I agree, it's not offensive. ;-)

I got to thinking, that wheel is only an inch bigger than what came stock on my LR3.

I've always thought that 20's would make air down almost impossible and extremely limit your off-road capability.
I'd say the ability to air down greatly depends on how much sidewall you can fit... I mean, if you could fit a 275/75r20 (36") that has a 8" sidewall you could probably air down pretty well! Having fitted 275/60r20's they have 6.5" sidewall and could probably be slightly deflated for better traction, although wouldn't fair well on rocks.

I'm actually glad I got an OEM with a large positive offset, the axle+hub width on these trucks requires a large positive offset to keep the wheels from sticking out super far. I'm surprised you can turn AT all.
Cut cut cut and then cut a little more. After all trimming it turns just fine. I got Nitto Terra Grapplers. With 20x10 XD monsters. They measure from the ground up about 33.25"

I hardly had to cut anything... A little tiny bit of plastic, and that's it.
You said you hauled a boat, well I just hauled my car trailer loaded with all my furniture 200 miles... Thank god for those HD springs!!! Handled like a dream!

I like it. The wheels look good. I was afraid I was gonna see some chromed out wheels. Oh and the lift looks great too!

Hah, I read the title and immediately knew who's it was. I was actually about to text you earlier about your tires and forgot. My question was, have you tried them in loose sand yet? I've heard they're spectacular in pretty much everything else, but I cant seem to find any info on their ability in sand. I need something I can use in the dunes next summer.
