I'd really like to try the 285 30 20 but I guess I'll go with 275. I'm thinking 7-800

The wheels won't sit right on your car. Sell the wheels.

Hankook and Yokohama are good.

Cheaper would be Federal, General, Kumho, Nexen, Nankang, Sumitomo.

No, they are quite sunken....

Get some spacers. Or sell them!

Anyways-

You could do 255/35/20 up front and 285/30/20 rear. 275/30 sat flush on a 20x9.5 wheel

I'm on Hankook V12s and Nankang NS2. Nankangs are only good at stretching. Don't know about their wet road grip since my car doesn't get driven in the rain or any wet ground.

My least favorite tire is Federal. Those bubble at the sidewall.

flush means the wheel is flush with your fender, making your car look more aggressive.

Oh word? Flush is awesome. Maybe in time I'll do it. How does it get done by the way and I read nankangs don't do good with rain so I'll do nitto when I got enough cash.
