buuuuuuuuuut, as i've mentioned, the 452's were designed with a thicker sidewall. soooo, the stretch will only be achieved with smaller than norms tire sizes. 452's are super good, but for stretched purposes, they're meaty. they don't tell you that. when the falken guys run the 452's on their car, they get a size smaller.

nah, if you can change, i'd just run the 35 fronts becuase of your drop. and just keep the 275/30 rear because of the same reason. buuut, if you wanna get nuts, stretch the 255/35 on the rear. that can be done No Probs. i've seen it done. hell, i've seen 225 on a 9.5" rim! ask rev-01 for advice too.

true. but thats was stretch is about. less protection! expose the lip of the rim. 45 degree like angle on the sidewalls. omfg soooo nice especially on work wheels. i think he's just scared you might be a careless driver.

i would go with 245/35/30 and 275/30/20 or 285/30/20 on a regular fitment
i would go with 225/35/20 and 245/35/20 on a extreme fitment, too bad only kuhmo makes this matching size

Hey bro, I to am looking for 20" falkens with no luck on this island. Where did you order from & with what kind of prices w/shipping? It sucks that we cant get ground shipping here to cut our shipping costs.
