Anyone know if I can squeeze 295/25s on 20x10 ET42 without rubbing? Is there any offset that can safely run a 295?

I have 285s currently... need new tires and for some reason the 275s or 295s are A LOT cheaper than 285s! I know this topic get discussed to death but I've searched and haven't found a definitive answer...

Does anyone have pictures comparing the profile of a 20x10 on 275/30 vs 285/25 vs 295/25?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure of my offset, but it was a DPE-S10 made for an E55. 285/25/20 Nitto Invo, slammed, only rubbed turn into a steep driveway. If I took my time, it wouldn't even rub on sport 2.

Hopefully that somewhat helps, haha. Sorry.

tbal

Thanks! I've had 285s with zero issues. Just wonder if I can squeeze 295s on a slammed car?

You might be pushing your luck with out rolling the fenders. If your car was not lowered i would say you might be good but slammed I dont think that is going to work but I could be wrong. Just roll your fenders and put on the 295's

Thanks Jayhawk, I can roll the fenders thats no problem, but my main concern after that would be rubbing? I am quite the "spirited" driver haha so would SUCK if car rubbed...

Anyone else confirm this?

anyone

I think Sun aka 'Benzoboi' ran 295s after rolling his fenders and would rub in S2.

tbal

DAMN! lol Thats what I was afraid of hearing... I wonder what his offset is though...

Mantooth

Front= Offset 38
Rear= Offset 36

I was about to ask this question yesterday also, have 285-30-20's now and goin to need rears again soon! I also want to throw on 295's but leaning more to 295-30-20's. found some from General tire for $164 ea.! My car is not slammed so will I be ok with 30 series?

I ran a 295/30/19 (shouldn't matter you have a 20) on a 19/9.5 et +35.

so with a 10 inch rim and offset of 42, you are 13 mm further "in" on the inside and 1mm in more on the out side...might rub?

if you run a 5 mm spacer, your off set goes to +37, now you are 8mm further "in" on the inside, and 4 mm further out on the outside edge

I think the best would be to run a 10mm spacer, net offset +32et...now you are 3mm further in on the inside and 9mm further out on the outside. No problem running a 295!

if you do a search for a member named Jangy, he wrote many threads about offsets and fitting wide tires.

I got all of the above info from the following website

good luck

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Doesn't look like its worth the headache... especially if I have to run spacers... although that 295 would be great for traction lol

psoas

based on your picture in your sig, you are pretty low in the back, so the 295 might be an issue..

car looks great IMO.

tbal

thanks!

As per Jangy heres what he said in one of his posts...

psoas

i remember he used to post about some tires being wider than others of the same "size"

I know I went from a 285 mich pilot a/s to a bridgestone 295 and the tires didn't seem that much wider?

I think he might have been using 17's or 18's so he could put on drag radials too?

I ran 315s on the rear with slight rub in sp2 above 100mph with fenders rolled

Id like to see some pics of some 315s

I have 295/25-20 with no issues whatsoever. I wish I had a 10" wide rim, I would have run 305 then.

chawkins2001

go with 275's if your car is slammed. You may have clearance issues against the body or controls arems with that conservative of an offset.

tbal

I ran 285/25s slammed s2 no issues
