Rim & Tire ?
I have 20*11(RADENERGIE R10 3pc Forged 20x11)
Used Micherin tire before(285/30/20) they was perfect fit
I change Falken tires today same size but tire smaller than rim
Rim is wider than tires.. Anybody know about that
Is that any problem ? There is no leaking or other promlem.
I need help ASAP

1. Go to www.tirerack.com > Enter make/model/year for your car
2. Enter the Tire Size for your car > 20 inch
3. See what your options are for the correct fitment. Check and see Falken are recommended.
I would advise you get the correct fitment, else, you are asking for trouble. Leaking is the least of your concerns.

Any AMG Thats Around..
i have run into many times that the same exact size from brand to brand are slighty different....
on my C43 for example... i had falkens on the front that were worn.. so i went with the dunlop direzza's and the dunlops rubbed... where the falkens were the PERFECT fitment.... So the fenders would come down and hit the dunlops over dips in the road... Same size tire! that went on the same wheel.....
on a 2xx/xx/xx (whatever size) Cap Size is sometimes different between brands... if you call tire rack they can check the cap size to make sure its same from brand to brand.....
hope that gives you some insite... like shoes, the falkens run small...

wheel sizing guideline...for measured rim with and optimal fitment:
9.5" - 275
10" - 285
10.5" - 295
11" - 305
that will ensure proper bead and sidewall load for the tire with respect to wheel width
