well they MAY work, I would get a hold of a TWS rep somewhere to be sure, BUT since you have a LT, I would bet you would be fine.....however, teh tires on those wheels will be a bit smaller in diameter than what would be on our cars, throwing off the speedo. so much so that when doing showing 60 mph, you would only be doing 56.5 mph, a 5.8% difference.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but the will mount on the car but they will look like training wheels with those small tires. I'd pass on this one if I were you.

I think the differance will be even larger than the 5.8% you point out but not much.

stock wheel dia. is 28.7 "

These 255/35/20's will prodcue a 27.0" dia. That is a huge differance. Leaving a very large gap between the tire and body.

I would pass.

You are right about the diameter you quoted.......do the math.....its EXACTLY 5.92335% difference, so my tire calculator is slightly off, it is .0012335% off. lol

Thanks guys, might still bid on them and if I get em just replace the tires and sell the smaller ones later. the rims are the biggest part to me.
