? for those with 20" wheels
I just wanted to ask what tire setup you guys have. The wheels im getting are 20 x 8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. Do i need 285 in the rear or can i go with 275?

thanks for the info guys...how about the fronts though? 245 or 255? My friend told me that 255/35/20 might rub but 245/35/20 wont rub. As of right now, i just have tein s tech springs...but i'm eventually gonna get coilovers. Its so hard finding a set of matching tires.

For my fronts I have 245's, it doesn't really rub unless i'm taking sharp turns on canyon type roads. I know a few people that have 255's for their fronts and they don't rub much. So it's really up to you. Also you might want use the tire calculater to see how much height you are increasing to the front when using 255's
Go with 245/35 with a 20x8.5 it will be a better match on the sidewall height with a 285/30. On my current setup I have 245/35 in the front and 275/30 in the rear and the front tire is noticeable bigger than the back tire you'll have the same look if you were to do 255/35 front & 285/30 rear.

Man how the heck did you pull off 23k+ on the S03s. I Have about 11k on my s03s and the rears are probably going to go after another 5k. The fronts still have alot of tread left.

Ohhh.. I miss my rims. Dealer used acid cleaner on it 3 weeks ago and it got jacked up. I haven't heard from them since.
