Jason, I recently swaped out the tired old 8.25x20 tires for a completed set of 9.00x20s on my '48 2 ton. They just fit the rims. Any wider and they wouldn't have been able to get the split rims back together. They are taller than the 8.25s and they sure fill up the front wheel wells, but I haven't had any problems with them rubbing the fenders. I originally wanted 8.25s but I got a very good deal on these 9.00s. I submited some pics of my truck to the Gallery, but havn't seen them yet. When it gets posted you'll be able to see they look good. Or I could email them to you. In short...they do work.
