20 x 10 inch wheels
Anyone ever put 10 inch wide wheels on 97-02 Expy's or Gators? And if so, did they stick out at all, and by how much? Also, was there any rubbing issues when turning lock to lock? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I have 20x9 Exel wheels shod with Toyo Proxes 285 50 R20's on my expy. The offset is +40 i believe. I get rubbing on the sway bar when the front wheels are @ lock. The rear also rubs a bit if the corner entry and exit speeds are high(I like to drive fast). Alhtough none of these issues affect the ride/handling/performance/reliability/treadwear from what I have seen. I have had these wheels on for about 15k miles and I have only one thing to say, I love the wheel and tire combo i have chosen.

I looked up a tire size calculator and found out that the factory tires on the truck measure over 10 inches wide as is. So the new tire size according to the calculator would be 295/45/20 on the wheels I'm looking at. That width would make the tire about 11.6 inches wide and wouldn't put them anywhere near scrubbing and would make the rim and tire even with the fenders. So long as I get the right offset. Thanks for the help Scobie. BTW, do you have any better pictures of your truck with those wheels?

Teg, that is not correct from what I have seen, the stock 17 inch wheels on my expy measured only 17x7.5. I know this because there is a stamping with these dimensions on the rim itself.
as for the picture requestd, here ya go:

I have 20s
I have 20 X 10 wheels on my 99 Expy. I have no rubbing issues whatsoever. I run 275/45 20s because they are close to stock.
