I wouldn't think it would hurt it too bad, I will be running a stock height tire and I have helper bags and trailer brakes. I would really like to upgrade the front brakes though.
Also I see threads everywhere where people have towed 5000+ lbs with their Astro, I just need to take it easy and watch my transmission temperature.
20x8.5's on an Astro? Will they fit?

Make sure you aren't spending more than $736 for the set with FREE SHIPPING. That is 20x8.5 5x5. Unless you are going polished/chrome. Black or gray center should cost you no more than that. Check Tire-easy.com for some tires and maybe you won't have to wait to get the package together.

Nice, thanks for your help, I can't wait to post an update. Now my profit sharing check won't be here until next week, but oh well more time to shop tires.meetthespeakers wrote:Make sure you aren't spending more than $736 for the set with FREE SHIPPING.

The Fed-Ex lable says 36.5lbs, but I have not weighed them. And by the way the hub bore was 82 when they came not 94.
