tire question

Is it ok to go with a different size tire . Currently im running 245/35/20 in the front and want to know if its ok to go with a 245/30/20 tire . Will it fit any different or any other differences other than the shorter sidewall ? Need answer asap . Thanks

Also im thinking of going with nitto invos or hankook ventus v12 . Any feedback on those ?

Sure you can go with a different tire size. the 245/30/20 will be almost an inch shorter in O.D.
I would stick to the 245/35/20, but the 30 series will work as well if you are lowered a bit.

I have the v12's and like them so far.. they do seem to run small though

If this is a coupe the 245/30-20 is really the better size to use.

The V12's have a soft sidewall, had to up the PSI for them to feel normal. Other then that I think they're a good tire for the price.

I running 20" iforged with 350z htechs . So the 30 would be better ? I dont want to have too much of a gap so im not sure .

Debating on going with new ventus v12 or used pair of MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S PLUS with 70% tread left for 240 shipped . Anyone ?

Heres a pic

Given the pic I would keep the 35 series. 30's would look funny IMO, ESP if you go with the V12's....
That is unless you plan to lower it more.

I have 245/35/19's (25.7") up front and I hate how small they look. I bought coilovers so I can set the ride height to make them look good comared to my rear tires. Hankook v12's. No other complaint about them thus far.
