New Tires... 275 or 285?

So I'm looking to buy new tires after my last set got all burned up due to camber issues (yes I'm dropped with no kit for now) and I am debating on changing the size now. I'm running 20" axis shines which are 20x10 in the rear (offset is +20 i believe). I had a 275/30/20 tire on them before and they looked sliiiiiightly stretched. I wuz actually thinking about going with a 285/30/20 tire now to bring it further out to the lol of the wheel this time. I'm dropped about 1 1/2" on stance gr+pros and I'm a little concerned about rubbing. Does anyone know if I'll have any probs running that size tire? Or should i just stick to the 275s?

I would try the 285/30.
It's not a crazy meaty set up and will likely put you closer to the oem circumference.
Get a camber kit though...

275's for sure, 285's can be a bit tight out back.

With your 20 offset on 10" rims you won't have issues with the 285s. I do suggest you get a camber kit so they wear even....Gary
