Luke: Tire Size Recommendation
Hi Luke,
I have Lorinser LM5 wheels (20x11 rear, 20x9 front) with Continental Sport Contact 2's - 305/25 ZR 20 in the rear and 255/30 ZR 20 in the front.
I want to get tires with a little more sidewall to help avoid pot hole damage. Can you recommend a size and are the Conti's decent or do you recommend a different brand?
Thanks in advance...

depends on the weather
the only way to get more sidewall is to get smaller wheels .... sorry
your car looks killer though

i did some calculations.
255/35 and 295/30 will give u more sidewall and r close enough in diameter not to trouble the abs and esp
i dont know if any1 makes those sizes though
good luck
