Hey guys wanted some help with what series tires to run on my staggered setup, here are the specs. Thanks

20x8.5 F Offset 35
20x9.5 R Offset 40

i must say this topic has been beaten to death but my personal opinion is that 275 is perfect for the rear. i have them on my car and they just barely tuck inside the fender. i believe anything wider might rub on the fenders through heavy cornering if your car is abc lowered but i can't say for sure

you should also make sure the sidewall measurement is similar as i know first hand that when you have thicker tires in the front it doesn't look as good as it could when the sidewall measurement is the same

Thanks for response, what size are you running? I am probably going to get another set now. seems this is this setup everyone usually has or recommend. the reason I ask is I want something mildly stretch.. I dont want too much tire squared on sidewall and also not too much rim also. I do have abc on my cl500.

20x8.5. Off 35. 245/35/20
20x10. Off 40. 275/30/20
