Looking to order these for my 04 coupe in 20x9 fronts and 20x11 rears and was wondering what size tires should I be running with these? It's my daily and I don't want to rub but would like to be flush and low. I am currently not lowered but planning on lowering in the future.

In the front you will need to run 225. I wouldn't recommend anything smaller as you will reveal to much of the lip. And 255 in the rear or 275. Your choice of you want to go with a 30 or 35 series. Im running 225/35 275/30
Good stretch in the front mild stretch in the rears. I only rub in the front every now and then. I'm dropped to where there is no finger gap on the front and half a finger gap in the rears. OEM spec all 4 corners

Well reason I told you to do 225 is because you said you don't want to rub. 245 you will rub if you don't camber in. You said you will be dropped. Also you will need to roll the rear fenders flat

275/35 in the rears is fine, depending on how low you wanna go. I would recommend 30 series in the rears regardless because with a 35 series it will look too meaty in the rears

What about going with a 235 in the fronts? So if I went with a 235/30 front and 275/30 rears it should look good on stock height, and then should be good to go with out rubbing or camber when I am lowered?

Does not look good at stock height. There's too much wheels gap. Not a good stance IMO

Yea I'll eventually get a drop, but was just wondering what tires I should get for a daily driver without having rubbing and rolling issues. So 235/35 fronts and 275/35 rears work good?

Yup. Yore good. That was my setup before I switched to a 30 in the rears. At stock height you won't rub(depending on how fast you're going over bumps) assuming you get those fenders rolled flat

Do not run 275/35/20 on the rear. You should be running 275/30/20. 35 series sidewall is too tall.

You will likely need your rear fenders rolled.

^^he needs rear fended rolled flat regardless because he will eventually drop the car. As far as 35 or 30, 35 is fine at stock height. I had no issues. But when you drop your car you'd better do 30. Personally you should stay with 30 series in the rear

I am assuming you are referring to a 20 inch diameter wheel. If so, you should NOT run a 275/35/20, regardless of whether or not it "fits" at stock height. If you do so, you are increasing the overall diameter of the rear tire by 1 inch. This can throw off your VDC in certain situations and will throw off your speedometer.

Do it right and run a 275/30/20. Don't run a taller tire because your car is not dropped and you want to fill the gap between your fender and tire.
