Need new tires, don't know wheel offset...what size tire to get?

Hi -

I'm in need of new tires for my coupe and probably going to get the V12's but I'm not quite sure what size I should get or is recommended, specially not knowing the offset size of my wheels. When I bought them the guy mentioned they are 20x8.5 and 20x10.5, but wasn't too sure about the offset.

The wheels are iForged Retro, and they are currently wrapped in Toyo T1Rs (bought them with tires). The size of tire on them right now are - 245/35/20 & 275/30/20.

Should I keep them the same size? Or go with a different size tire? Recommendations?

The size you have are pretty typical.
If your current tires work for you and you dont plan to change anything (suspension, etc) then I would just stick with that size.

Well I was thinking going a little thicker on the tire. Kind of getting a little tired of feeling every bump on the road. Already bent 1 rim and had to get it repaired. But good to hear that's a commonly used size. - thanks

Hmm.. decided to go with 225 35 20 & 245 35 30. I'll end up stretching the rears but I think that'll work, and save me a couple bucks. I'm planning on adding 1in. spacers as well later, hopefully the tires wont rub.
