Nice. Mickey Thompson AZTs? A great tire, look dam fine and probably bulletproof on road - but looks can be deceiving.

A 305/55/20 gives a 33.2inch tire but with only a 6.6 inch side wall, a bit less than stock 285/60 and a full inch less than say a 275/70 or 285/65.

So you will want to take care if/when running low pressures. With a heavy truck, wide 305 sideways footprint and low pressures you will want to be careful not to roll it off a rim or crack the wall - especially easy to do in sand where it can all go pear shaped real easy. 18 psi absolute min on them suckers I'd guess but with those wide tracks and the power of the 5.8 V8 'evyting gonna be jez fine'. . Thats a heap of rubber contact even at 25 psi.

The mileage is gonning to be a killer of course.

Roll well ihatemud

BRILLIANT!!!
How did you manage to fit those on?!?! I have been told at TJM that a 20x10 is an impossibility...!!!
Heeeeeelp!! I love this look!!

BBS wheels off special edition Tundra (ebay) powdercoated semi-flat black with 305-50-20 michelin Latitude HPs.
I know the mud doesn't like 20s but with this size there's lots of sidewall. Rubs just a little with full lock to left, can easily be fixed with the little heat on the inner most part of the mudflap.

Love 20's!!
Quick question...
Are they 20x10's??

If so did you raise it to fit them in?
If so by how much??
Cheers

you're kinda of my hero man

 

[r3run33]

they really laugh at me (the dakar team) cause I constantly barage them with my SUPER bad Japanese about question. lol Funny thing is that a Lexus guy said just use translator; "I use it all he time"! well it does not work that well lol; it switches the verbs often and messes up the question.

It's amazing what 10" of properly tuned wheel travel can do.

 

[soslo]

The amazing part is that the frame/chassis can handle the stress of landing with that little amount of travel and tire to absorb the energy. Impressive. No Ford Raptors can take jumps like that and survive without frame issues.

Is the frame on the race cruiser stock?

raptor's are awesome (comparable resale to a 200 LC?) and i'm thinking no pick-up truck can handle that kind of jump anyways. not the raptor's fault?

 

[MScruiser]

The Raptors, IIRC, have inherently weak frames, and that, coupled with the marketing that showed them making jumps in factory trim, and the false notion that Raptors were somehow "Race-Ready" when they drove off the dealer's lot, led to a whole bunch of cracked frames.

Not the Raptor's fault, per se, but surely the fault of false marketing and a lot of dumb-ass owners.
