tire size?? help
hi
i just got free wheels and these came with 245x35x20 and 295x30x20.
wheel size are 20x8.5 and 20x11.
what are the best tire combo. i dont want to trim or fab any fender or susp.
are 255x30x20 and 305x25x20 good? because my frend has this combo but he doent want to put these tire on his wheels(not install yet). so i can swap thoes if those fit.
do i need spacer to fit 305?
i just want biggest tire combo without any problem.
what other combos do you recommend?
how about 245x30x20 and 295x25x20?
how stiff with those 25s?
i also want to drop around 1" or 1.5"
thank you.

most people here are using 255/30/20 on the front and 305/25/20 on the rear for 20x9 and 20x11 rims. Most people have dropped their cars from 1/2 inch up to 2 inches.

i hope this helps.
