Tire Size for 20'' rims

[MurderedLS]

what would you guys suggest for a tire size, to get no rubbing, for 20'' rims with a +45 offset.

44" super swampers

44" yeah right those are 44", those things gotta be 6 feet tall LOL

MurderedLS try a search, lots of discussions has taken place about this.

Little insight on the width would be helpful.. most likely 245/30

Good calc for you

Depends on the rim width, many people use 245/35/20 or 245/30/20.

True.. The 30s are closer to the stock size tire.. Just a tad smaller.. The spedo will be off 1.2% slower with the 30s and 2.3% faster with the 35s..

I'm running an 8.5 wide wheel with a 245/35/20 tire. +35 offset on the wheel. No rubbing unless I "really" bottom it out on the interstate at high speeds.

I plan on running 275/30 on my backs (9.5 width).. 40+ offset.. Shouldn't be a problem..

GOD! I'm stoked to get them on..

30 isnt a good idea if you live in a area with many potholes, even 35 is harsh on the rims going above 45mph and hitting a pothole, im looking for 19's with size 40s if anyone knows anyone

True.. But putting bigger WHEELS on, you have to re-learn how to drive.. Avoid pot holes at all costs.. Just some sacrifices you will have to make for your car to look good..

whats the difference between 235 and 245, isnt 245 thicker?

 

[FASTLLS]

More contact patch.. Meaning wider..

on my marquis i had 255/35's and it rode kinda harsh..But it was a big car so it soaked up the bumps alot better

On my mark i had like new fuzion zri 225/35/19's and i was bending wheels left and right and it rode like complete horse sh!t (before it was lowered).Tires came with the deal (tires and rims for 500) and i replaced them the next summer w/Pirelli pzero rossa's 235/45's and its a night and day differance.
Luckily none of the bends were bad enough to the point were i couldn't bend them back with my special technique.

Do explain..

 

[Lownslowlsc]

a 25lb 3' long sledge w/padding wrapped around it. I used old rags, t-shirts ect..Even worked when the bends were bad enough to break the bead and make em' leak.

 

[chris2523]

interesting...

 

[FASTLLS]

Agreed..

 

[Lownslowlsc]

If it works it works..There werent any signs of damage after they were bent back and it was free so suck it.

 

[chris2523]

free is good!

 

[FASTLLS]

I wasn't saying it was bad.. Actually, quite the contrary.. I might have to try that some time..

Are you concerned about the added weight and the negative effects on handeling and brakes?

 

[Lownslowlsc]

free is good!

indeed

Ok, Mr. rollyeyes.
