haha, im waiting to see some too... hahaha

wwhat do you define as beefy?

I roll on 20s, but wanting the same beef as your looking into. haha.

Right now I got 235/35 Generals fronts, and they look alot beefier than the SDrives in 225/35...

For the rears, its due soon, I will be mounting a bigger tire too, currently its 245/35 SDRive

I want to mount some Generals too, in a bigger size. (This brand, from what I have read, do run "Large") Making the "beef" to "beefier"? hahaha

now someone respond to the OP's request! and lets see them photos!!!

I dont have any pics because im on 19's, but man ^ this dude is all over the place.

I am all about the "beefy" tire look, not a fan of stretched tires (aside from the few decent set-ups ive seen)...so I have been searching day and night for pics of my potential set-up. 3 weeks + in searching and Im still undecided.. I hope you can get the pics you are looking for. I wish there were 18", 19" 20" all tire fitament threads....that would be cool and help a lot of people..

Hmmm beefy would be defined by having beefy walls i guess! Maybe run some 35 series tires or something! Ill post some set ups from rimtuck but the only thing that caught my eye is orange g with the greddy fron runnung stretched 35 series tires front and back! I was thinking of doing:

245/35/20 on a 20x9.5 front and a 285/30/20 on a 20x11 rear! I dont know if i can still go beefier than that!

Like how beefier can I get without looking like a monster truck? 40 series?

245/40/20 on a 20x9.5 front with a 275/35/20 on a 20x10.5 or 285/35/20 on a 20x11 rear?

Whoa why the **** would you wanna go past a 285/35? Have you seen that tire? It's HUGE, You can go wide but you should NOT increase the profile. It will look stupid as hell.

285/35 as it is will be huge on a 20.

I recommend 30s in the back and 35s up front if you're going that wide.

Are you doing this to avoid lowering your car more? Because this is the wrong way.

Its actually more of thickening the tires more to provide ride comfort cuz ive ran 20s before on stock suspension though with 285/30/20 rears but then again the front was 245/30/20 so it was really rough! Now that ive lowered my G 1" front and 1.2" rear im sure to expect a rougher ride than before so im trying to compensate with thicker tires! My only advantage is I have some tokico d specs and am running rsr springs with 315 spring rate! Right now this set up with 245/40/19 is tolerable so im afraid what i might get into when I finally run 20s!

Honestly, 20s aren't for you if you want comfort, running a big sidewall like that is going to look really bad and aftermarket wheels are all about looks. If you want ride comfort I recommend you stick to OEMs

with a 285/35 I don't think your ride would be bad enough to make you wanna add nearly an inch to the overall diameter.

Well looking actually for the best ride possible! 19s doesnt give me enough clearance so I scrape badly on my driveway thats why i am seriously considering 20s! Ryt now im actually tryin to either get Tein CS with EDFCs or Bilstein Pss9/10 to help me with ride adjustability couple with the best ride possible then maybe run 245/35/20 up front and 285/30/20 at the back! If it doesnt go well I think I would need to run a higher front bumper!

Coils are always going to offer you the best ride quality over any springs/shock combo.
