Lightbulb 20x10.5 45et on 305/25/20 or 295/25/20???

Hi Members,

Is anyone here currently running 20x10.5 45et lowered with either 285/30/20 or 295/25/20 or 305/25/20 size tires?

If so can you post up pics and specs as I am deciding which tire size to go with? And would appreciated your comments on the tire specs you are running if you have rubbing issue and how is the handling?


TIA Guys!!!

This is 305/30/19 on a 19x10.5 ET49. Lowered on KW HAS. Absolutely not even a mm to spare on the fender side at this ride height. I'd guess that a 295 would be max width at ET45.



Hope this helps.

Thanks for the post bro!! That is definitely tight and looks good and beefy with 305/30 size tires. Do you have more pics like the rear angle to see how beefy the 305 tires look?

Anyone else running 20x10.5 45et lowered with either 285/30/20 or 295/25/20 or 305/25/20 size tires?

I really dun have good pics of my car. Best I can do are these color/light edited pics I have from when I ran 275s up front on the same wheels.




Horrible pics but you can sorta see how much they stick out and fill the fender well. Last pic car wasn't lowered.

I can tell from the 2nd pic, the 305 looks aggressive and beefy!! Too bad the last picture you have is not lowered. Otherwise I am sure it looks even better.
