Have you dropped your car, and if you have. How many inches did you drop it?

It depends on the offset and how much you are lowered.

Without knowing the offsets you're probably safest going with the 265. If you can find out the offset then you'll be able to get more help.

Well if your car is not dropped then you should be able to put them on, but at the sametime you really need to find out your offset. I have my car lowered 1.2 in the front and 0.9 in the rear, and my offsets are +20 and +25, and that is considered agressive. I need to put a 5mm spacer in the rear to give it that little more agressive look. If I went with 20's I would still be in good shape, so if you don't have your car dropped then you are fine. In my honest opinion if you do drop your car. Go with an offset around +20 and +25, and add spacers if you want to get what you want.

Quick question? Is the rim 20x9 in the front. What is the rear size?

i will take the rim to a shop to have the offset measured. ill will just go with the 265 in the front then. the rear tire looks to inserted in the fender and kinda ugly. so i will definitely need some 20mm im selling (1 1/4 in) if anyone wants them or trade for some stuff.

+20/25 is NOT aggressive for an 8.5/9.5 setup... redlude97 had a 9.5 +5 with a 275 or 285 tire in the rear...

You can easily fit a 275 on a 9" wheel up front with a +20 offset, whether you're lowered or not.

He is talking about 275 in the front, and with my car I would think 275 is too thick of a tire if I were to put it up on the front tire. Just wouldn't look right especially if you have a 20 inch rim!

read my second statement. I clearly stated that he can easily fit a 275 up front on a 9" wheel with a +20 offset, i know what i'm talking about.

It would look perfectly fine with a 275/30/20 up front.

Well depends on the average person. Everyone has there own specifics of what they like. Not trying to attack anyone, but you don't see too many 275/30/20 setup in the fronts. That is what I am trying to say.
