so on 20-inch? 245/35/20 & 275/30/20..I dont remember what I ordered
but can always change since rims aren't in yet..

those are the right sizes for 20's, though a 285/30/20 is a perfect match while the 275/30/20 is a hair too short compared to stock, but not enough to notice. For the front, ideal size would be 255/30/20, but alot of people run 245/35/20 because its the most common size that is near stock diameter. It is a good .7" taller than stock though so I wouldn't exactly recommend it.

I thought you had 19" GT-V's? ..but ya, wrong section. This does not belong in the private classifieds section.

Thanks for all the advice so far. Does anyone have a close up pics of a 19" rim with a 285/35 set up and a 285/30 set up so I can see what it looks like ?

i'm running 285/35 and loving it! gives the tires some meat for a much more aggressive look, IMO!

my car use to be like that but w/ 285/35 didn't feel like a 4x4 but sure looks the part. I dropped it w/ TEIN S Tech and no rub, 295s would have required a roll......

me again.. would a 245/30/20 be better for the fronts? I thought I read some where its just a hair shorter then OEM


Thanks!

Its .3" shorter than stock, and is an okay size to run. Personally I would run either 255/30/20 or 245/35/20 for some added protection from potholes etc
