305/45/20 pics?

[B.Rich108]

What's going on? I recently drilled a pot hole and blew out a tire...got side tracked by someone. But anyway I just figured I'd get a new set of 305s for the back. Since the 305/40 is no longer available...I figured id go with the 305/45. Stock 20" wheels. I have read from a few people that they bulge a lot. Does anyone have any pictures of 305/45/20 mounted up? What about 305/35/20?

not much bulge in my opinion

305/35/20 definitely will not fit, and if they cram it on the rim, it's dangerous and it'll handle like garbage with that much slop of sidewall folded into fit a 12" tire on a 9" rim with a rubber band sidewall.

305/40/20 bulges considerably more than stock. IIRC the minimum recommended rim width for a 305/40 is a 10" rim and we have 9". Squeezing it in that inch more is doable but not ideal.

305/45/20 will bulge less since it's a taller tire so there's more sidewall to gradually transition from the 12" tire to the 9" rim. It's a much taller tire than stock though so they'll really stuff the wheel wells....IMO a tad too much for a 2wd HD.
