NEED UGENT TIRE SIZE HELP!!

Gents,

First, thanks for checking in.

If I'm running a 295/25/20 and the tire sticks out beyond the edge of the lip by .25 of an inch, can I get away with a 285/30/20? Eyeballing it the 295 almost looks too wide. This is for a set of E55 fit wheels..

How much wider is the 295 vs the 285? I'd rather have the extra meat than the 10mm of wide. I guess my question is, is there a noticeable difference between the 295 and the 285?

How wide is the wheel you're trying to fit the 285/30 on?

I am going through this currently. I just tried 285/30/20 on a 10.5 wheel. Leaves a quarter inch of rim sticking out. I ordered a set of 295/25/20. Should be able to answer your question on or about sept 22nd
