295/30/20?? Will it work??
I just ordered a set of 20 inch wheels for an S500. I am going with the staggard look 20X9 up front with a 2.5in lip and 20X10 with a 4.75in lip ( 3 piece wheels) . On the rear tire does anyone know if I can run a 295/30/20? My tire guy says I can do it, but i'm hearing conflicting answers from different people. I want the widest possible look. Also fyi I am taking the car to a body shop to get the fenders rolled, and possibly get the back of the rim machined so it will fit closer to the hub without rubbing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no conflict its just people not wanting to listen. Get the 295/30/20's, and when they rub or stick out too far, you can chime back in and tell us all about it. Fender rolling will not allow you to put a truck tire on your car.
God luck.. dude
