hey guys,

i'm getting my 20's soon and was wondering which tire size i should get. 245/35/20 or 255/30/20? a lot of people seem to be running the 245's, but the 255's are closer to the stock diameter. are there advantages or disadvantages to running either tires? in your opinion, which tires would you buy and why?

thanks in advance for any help fellows.

thanks 69g35 for the reply, i don't think i'd wanna do 255/35. but if you say it works for you, maybe i might go with 255/30. anybody else w/20's have any opinions on 245 vs. 255?

I'm running 245/35 right now, but when I need to replace the fronts I will go with 255/35. I have 20 x 8.5 front.

Now its rubbing little bit in front with 255-35-20
because cambers are back to factory specs and drop 1.1
so going change to 245-35-20
for more room..
