New Tires & Rims - Before I Buy - Comments/Suggestions wanted

I love the American Racing Matrix 608 Rim found here:

http://www.americanracing.com/wheels...lloy&section=S

The tire place recommends a 285/50/20 Yokohama Geolandar AT+II or Goodyear GT2

Thoughts - Anyone with a similar tire/wheel with photos?

They look nice. Kinda reminds me of the ones off the Harley Davidson f150's

Someone one the Forum had a pic w 22's. It sounded like they would be too big, but the fit the opening nicely

I like my Lariat wheels, I just wish they were chrome, and 20inch

You can get chrome Lariat wheels on e bay for around $800 + your wheels. Granted they are still 18" but it may be something for you.

I am looking at the 20's. I'm just trying to stay fairly close to avoid a lot of recalibration and towing issues. I will wil lift or lower depending on the feel once I get the wheels.

The Geolandar AT+II is an awesome tire but does not come in the size you listed. The largest tire the AT comes in is P275/65R17 .

Maybe you are thinking of the Geolandar H/T-S 285/50/20. Thats what I have, and I'm very happy!

I'm double checking the shops recommendation. I think the 285/50/20 was the Goodyear. I really like the Yokohama. The AT+II is what I want but they may be recommending another. I live in wisconsin so I want AT where I can.
