I only know this because I am looking at a 4/6 and have done a ton of research on this site so all credit goes to the previous posters on this subject, but seems that 275/40R20x10 w/ 5.5BS and 255/40R20x8.5 w/ 5.25BS is the perfect combo. You can go to a 295 rear but IMO it doesnt gain you a ton and since all trucks are made differently a 275 should be safer from rubbing. Also depends on if you have the wide or narrow rear end. Those specs are for the wide rear later model trucks. Hope this helps.
