judging by this website...which is pretty cool I might add...

I am not going to have any clearance issues other than maybe width and turning. What do you think about it are they gonna be too wide and rub. I have another thread out there about tires and wheels but I did a little bit more research before I came back. I atleast picked out a set that i like. Thanks in advance for any info. Garrett

HEY WAIT! lol, I just checked nittos site, they list 8.5" as the smallest wheel width that'll work with the 305/50-20 but they suggest a 9.5, but you can go all the way to an 11

sweet I need to get money scrounged up but I think I am goin with that combo. I think they will look good and they shouldnt affect my ratio bc they are close enough to the same outside diameter
