I've searched "staggered", "20s", "tires", "front" and I've read almost all the hits going back one year and still have not really found clear answers to my concerns.

I'd really like to go with 20s all around and I know the proper size to stay within stock diameter on the front is 255/30-20. I don't like this size because of the low sidewall and the condition of the streets in Dallas.

I'd like to go with 255/35-20 in the front as I'm going with 285/30-20 in the rear.

If you're running a 245/35 or 255/35, please chime in and give me some feedback:

1) What size are you running
2) What is wheel width & offset
3) How much are you lowered
4) Any rubbing issues
5) Any VDC issues

Thanks.

 

bump...

come on... no one? Please!

 

245/35-20
20x8.5 front
Tein H-Tech springs
no rubbing issues w/ correct offset
no VDC issues

 

that's the same exact issues I went through. I didn't want to use a 30 series in the front. I ended up getting 255/35/19 front and 285/30/20 rear. It gives my rims a little more cushion from the potholes. The diameters are same as stock so no problems with the ABS or VSC.

 

255/35/20 is not the optimal choice for the front of a coupe, its 0.9 inches taller than stock, and while it won't throw off your speedometer, a 255/30/20 is a much better option being only .1 inches smaller than stock.

 

look again, I said 255/35/19 not 20.

 

what are you talking about? the OP is asking about 255/35/20's. Nowhere does he mention 19's in his post. 35 series tires are obviously the correct choice for 19's, but that has no relevance in this post

 

I thought you were talking to me cause you posted right after my post. but you're right, you need a 30 series in 20s to get the right diameter.

 

i understand what you guys are saying regarding diameter... I already know this...

what i really want to know is that in the case I go with 255/35-20 and end up being about an inch taller than stock in the front, will i experience:

1) rubbing
2) VDC or ABS problems

That's really what I want to know from those who have actually run this set up. Thanks.

 

I am running 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 in San Antonio. Streets are ok, but I do avoid bad spots as much as possible. The ride is not nearly as harsh as I expected, probably because of the Tein Htech springs.
Here is a link of how they look.

How much do the Tein H-Tech springs lower the car from stock?

With that setup, did you roll the front fenders?

Do you have any rubbing issues?

 

You can't roll the front fenders, they are already prerolled in stock form, just go look for yourself. Rubbing is highly dependant on offset as well as width, without knowing that, we can't tell you if its going to rub or not

 

Thanks for the heads up regarding rolling the front fenders; noted.

In regards to offset and width, I am well aware of these factors.

I was specifically asking in regards the post from cruz106, who is running 245/35-20 on the TSW Thruxton wheel that is pictured below. I know the wheel is 20x8.5 +20 so I can do the math to comp it to the size I want to run.

Thanks.

 

I'm running 255/35/20 on the front on an 06 6MT and no rubbing issues. And the roads here are crap. :P

 

Stock suspension?

What size/offset front wheels?

What brand/model tires?
