I'm getting some rims/tires this weekend and I need help on some tire size. I'm getting Nitto 555 tires and Niche Venice rims. The guy at the tire shop said I should go with 225/35/20 b/c it wouldn't rub like a 235/35/20 would. But I've seen other people on here with 235's on their car and it wasn't really a problem. I only have stock suspension right now so if I get the 235/35/20 will I have any rubbing issues with those?

Also, the Venice rims have a stainless steel polished lip. Will the rims still look good with that finish on them?

Thanks!

 

if your car is stock height I wouldn't see why you would rub... I think 225 is too low, if you're not carefull you'll bend a rim

 

So 235's should be just fine you think?

 

tell him you want to run a 245-30-20 it will not rub i have 20x8.5

 

Would I be ok with 235/35/20?

 

Doubtfull that the 35's would work at all. About 99% of the guys running 20's are running the 30's. If you are open to body work, you "may" be able to get them to fit but.... Also, aren;t those tires more expensive than the 30-series?

 

Jumpman.... I Had 20" Wheels On My 06 Tl And Had Bfg P245/30r20 On Them And Had Lots Of Room. I Know That P245/35r20 Would Be Your Best Fit. I Have Ben In The Tire And Rims Business For 14 Years And Sell Tire And Wheel Pakages All Day. Ck The Od And Sw @ You Local Dealer. Get A Spec Sheet And Ck Out The Overall Dia. And Section Width For You Stock P245/45r17 And P245/35r2o The 20 Will Be Just A Tad Taller. The Wheel And Tire Will Fill In Good.

 

Diameter difference for the 245/35-20's is a little over an inch and a half larger diameter that stock outside recommended specifications but apparently still viable per the above post but I would check out the others on here who have been running 20's to get verification. I guess some of the problems may only occur with the wider tires (like a 265)

 

I was looking through a couple threads with people who had 20's and some had 235/35/20 with no problem and stock suspension so I decided to go with those. I also saw that Invincible569 was also running those on the front with no prob and he had a drop so I should be ok, I hope. Getting those bad boys slapped on tomorrow.

 

I run 245-35-20 with A-spec drop and have no problems. You should also take into consideration the offset of the wheels as it will affect how close it will be in relation to the fenders.

 

run the 245-30-20 and then you can lower it without trimming the inner fender

 

Post some pics of the new rims and tires so we can all see how they turned out.
