20" Wheel and tire fitment help please. Need All Season Tires!
I live in North Dakota now so all season is a requirement and it appears my only option is Nitto NT NeoGen.
The wheels I'm looking at are 20x9" in the front with 35mm offset. The rears are 20x10" with 45mm offset.
The ONLY all season tire option I can come up with is the Nitto NT NeoGen in the following sizes.
Front: 245/30R20 25.98" Overall Diameter, 9.53" Section Width, and 8.5" Tread Width. Recommended 9-10" wheel. OEM front tire is 25.4" Overall Diameter, 9.9" Section Width, and 9.3" Tread Width.
Rear: 305/25R20 25.98" Overall Diameter, 12.32" Section Width, and 11" Tread Width. Recommended 10.5-11.5" wheel. OEM rear tire is 25.7" Overall Diameter, 11.2" Section Width, and 10.5" Tread Width.
The rear tire is where I'm concerned as I haven't really seen anyone running over 295's. But the overall diameter and tread width appears to be very close to the specs of the OEM Pirelli P Zero 285/30R19 that came on the car.
I do not plan to lower my car.
Anybody have any thoughts? Seems that the recommended 255/30R20 and 295/25R20 do not come in anything but summer tires.

Sure you don't want dedicated winters/rims and run summers in rest of warmer weather?

All season tires are too much of a compromise in both summer and winter. If you've already got a second set of rims, why not go with dedicated sets for summer and winter.
Otherwise, the performance of your 600HP car will be significantly compromised. Aside from brakes, perhaps, I can't imagine a more important vehicle component to ensure optimal safety and performance.

Also, I dont recommand AS tires with your new UPD airbox kit that's going to be in the mail tomorrow!

Its a local chicago dealer. I bought the winter wheel/tire package from them, they store my summer wheels during winter then swap out in spring.
