Petroman - I share your opinion on the 20's vs. 22's. Be sure your 20's are wide enough for the 305s. I've been searching for 20s for my 03 EB for several weeks now. I've talked to what seems like almost every wheel dealer in Dallas about size/offset. I have been cautioned about the 305's being too wide, bowing out around the rim & wearing very unevenly. 285-50-20 seems to be a better fit. Due to the +35 offset required, the widest 20inch wheel I can find is 8.5 - 9inches wide...apparently not wide enough for the 305's.

Just look at the web site for the tire and find the size you want and it'll show the recommended wheel width. I have 8.5 on mine with 305-50's.

I have been researching as well and have found that most 305-50-20 tires indicate that an 8.5" wheel is sufficient. I did find a '03 or '04 Expy with 305's in the picture gallery on this site. The 305's really don't look that large after all. Any others with experience with the 305/20" combo?

I personally think the bottom line is this. We live in a country that allows us freedom of choice. Those of you who choose to put 18, 20, or larger rims & low profile tires on, have the right and choose to do so.
As a fellow American, I have the right to decide if I personally like it or not. My choice is that I don't. Would I ever go up to someone who is proud of their vehicle and tell them I think it looks dumb, probably not unless they were being a jerk.
So, You choose to like the big wheel look, I choose not to. Pretty simple really.

Under each picture is a link called "Forum Codes". Click on it and it will open a new window that reveals the URL needed to insert a picture.
Choose the size. (Thumbnail is better for dial-up users. )
Copy and paste the WHOLE URL (including the [ img ] part) into your post.
See?
Now to see what I did, just hit "Quote" and it'll show you how the code works.
Nice truck, BTW!

I like my new 20's
Just mounted new 20's and I live how it looks. Still have all capabilities off road as original but much greater performance on road. I think the original post was confusing 20 for 24" rims. The twenty only deducts 1.5' from the tire sidewall height. Also the new rims are 9" wide with a tread width increased to 11.5". Using Good Year Eagle GT 2 tires 285/50/R20. I think they look sweet.

The whole move was a result of my vibrating stock tires whith their sloppy performance. Could not see 17” tires as an upgrade.
