Per my response above, I hope to have more info soon. At SEMA the truck had production 295/65R20 BFGoodrich K02’s on prototype forged Black Rhino wheels. We are trying various offsets and widths. After we land on the best combination we can share the sizing for the production wheels.
I will try to provide more information soon. Fortunately I have a close partnership with BFGoodrich Tires and Black Rhino Wheels. I am not only testing tires but wheel offsets and widths as well. All three are critical. In addition, not all 295/65 20’s are the same. I need a little more time...

Thanks for the comment. Since our Rock Sliders double as running boards we wanted to show how incredibly strong these are from the top. Did you see the video (now added to first post) where we used a Jack to lift the entire truck with the outer edge of the Rock Slider? If you can imagine...
