@Nick@Apollo-Optics You have any decent pics of the gun metal 20s? Couldn't find any really good pics unless what you have on the magnetic raptor are the gun metals.

Hey Shaggy,

Here's a full album of the Carbon Graphite 601 wheels in 20" on a Magnetic Raptor.

Hope this helps!

Heya Nick! Quick question for you. Can I use 325/60/20 tires with 20 inch VenomRex wheels?
Like without any modifications to the truck?

Also, do you normally buy 5 wheels to keep one under the truck?

Are you aware that Raptor is a Leadfoot?

That's a negative, ghost rider. You'll need to raise the front suspension and do some minor trimming to your fender liners for clearance. If you don't mind doing those, I highly recommend the 325s. They look perfect on the truck with 20s and that's what we run on our Raptor. Here's a couple albums with the VR-601 and the VR-602 on our Apollo Optics truck.

What am I missing here? Are those tires wider then OEM? Because the diameter seems to be almost the same?

They're taller and wider. The OEM tires (315/70R17) measure out to 34.4" tall and 12.7" wide. The 325/60R20 measures out to 35.4" tall and 13.0" wide.

So those fender cuts needed only in the front? Is **** Geisers + Icons option 2 works ok with this tires? Can normal mechanic shop trim those panels? You have like image of the size of that trim? Thank you mate! Appreciate the info!

The trimming is very minor. You don't even have to do it if you don't want to. It's only minor rubbing on the fender liner at full steering lock. A hot knife, sharp knife, Dremel, or sawzall can quickly knock it out. You'll still need to do the trimming with raising the front. You don't have to go option 2 on the Icons unless you want to. You can clear this in the rear at stock height. I don't have an image of the cut, but it's basically a 1" wide x 2" tall cut on the fender liner and you're good to go.
