Will these 305/35-20 on my stock 20" SS rims. Is this a fair price for them or does anyone know of a better place to buy them? First pair of DRs ive ever bought so im clueless

Yes they will fit and many guys are running them on the stock rims,
BUT the 305/35/20 are NOT RECOMMENDED for a 9" wheel. The tire will be stretched, but it will fit on the rim.

You really should have at least a 10" wheel to run a 305 tire.

Discount Tire usually has pretty good prices on Nittos. The 305 NT555Rs are not cheap.

It will fit, but it's not reccomended. Your not going to get the full potential of a 305 width tire on a 9" wheel. If you had a 10"+ wheel, you would get much more of the tread surface on the pavement.

If you're going to stick with a 9" wheel, it might be worth checking into 275 width drag radials. You'll get more for your money that way and the tires will wear more evenly.

275-40-20 is the recommended size on stock wheels.

295 is probably the max of a 9" rim but yes they will fit
