Pics added, Nitto Nt420s 305/50/20
More on post #14
I have searched for 2 hours and can't find what im looking for.
Unfortunately i have a ton of stuff coming up in the next few months and momma wont go for some TBSS 22's. Her Hoe needs tires and i don't like the idea of waiting a few months, since she and my kids ride together.

Anyways, i'm settling for tires. Really digging the Nitto nt420s as most on here do.
I do not want the sidewall to bulge out, wouldn't mind more height and with. So i'm left to pick a size.
here is my choices, ending with my least Favorite.
305/50/20 Worried they will bulge and look stupid.
285/55/20 Seem to be a tiny bit taller.
275/55/20

Not to concerned about rubbing. Only concern about having a wider tire is they tend to grab the road more and pull.

thanks for any info, Pics would be great.

I wouldn't think the 305s will bulge out. Its a little wider than the stock tire. IMO it would be the best one.

go 305/50's! A few members on here are running that size. Take a look at Soulsea's pic (in build thread and album) as well as Felixgun's on his Avalanche. Both look outstanding IMO!

I just had the 305/50s installed yesterday. I went with Nitto Terra Grapplers. I'm also still on the stock 20s. I'm very happy with the decision I made. I do have a leveling kit installed. I only mentioned this because you said nothing about your leveling kit, and I'm viewing this via Tapatalk and can't see your sig.

No leveling adjustments have been done. Stock suspension for now.

I'm riding on stock height with 305/50/20's on my avalanche and it looks great. I've had 305's on my Tahoe and currently run 305's on the Escalade and avalanche. It makes a huge difference in look as its wider (but def does not bulge out).
