don't know exact offsets cuz i-forged doesn't give them out but i'm gonna be doing about +5 to +10 offset and not much camber. i'm dropped about 1.5 inches.
i didn't wanna do 285/30 cuz i was afraid it's gonna rub. i am rolled though.

With those offsets and little camber, you'll probably be best running 275/30/20. Being rolled should help a lot.

If you have a rear camber kit, I would say go for the 285/30 and just dial in more negative camber if you have clearance issues.

265 or 275 will look stretched on a 10.5" wheel. 265 will look worse than 275. 285 or 295 would be ideal: 285/30/20, but without knowing the offset of the wheels, I don't know for sure if it will work. If Iforged won't tell you the offsets, ask them what is the largest tire size that will work. Please don't put 255s on them like Shane is proposing. What size wheel is in the front?

Stick with what you got!

265/35 is about 3/4" taller

or you could run a stretch and go with 255/35 whick is about .5" taller but it will be less with stretch!!!

^ the thing is, i DO want to make it a bit taller. i don't like the way the 30 series don't fill the wheel gap.

ok so fronts are 245/35 on 20X9.5 about +18 offset.

i'll probably gonna end up getting solobaric's set-up. 255/30 and 285/30. i was thinking 245/35 and 265/35 but the 265's are harder to find and more expensive. i'll just slam the car more to get rid of the gap

with 20's you're not gonna have a tell tire, theres really no way around it, unless you wanna look dumb.

But FYI even if you were running 18, 19 with taller tires you would still have the same amount of gap. You wanna fix the gap....LOWER your car more. thats really the only thing to do!!!
