get your rear fenders rolled, see if it helps... looks like you've got a low offset wheel

also the correct tire size is 245/30-20

go for 19s or 18s, 20s aren't practical if you actually enjoy driving

do not get a thinner tire thats for sure. best way to solve your problem is the cut/shave the rear fenders

The offset is 40 and i can't run a 30 tire because here the roads are to bad as you can see in my 3rd pic jeje !! Here is another pic, if i can't go with 255 i will get 245 but as the same brand as the other tires!! besides 90% of the time i drive alone or with my girlfriend and the rubing is only with 2 on the back and with bumps on the highway maybe the 255 will not be to bad!! what do you think ???

Man you have guts!! 20" rims in PR, just looks great!! Never heard of someone in PR that can roll the fenders. Where did you bought these rims? PM me. Good luck.

Umm if you are rubbing on a 245, you will rub even worse on a 255 so why are you even debating this? Stick with the 245s, get your fenders rolled, and you will be fine.

yea if you go 255 u have to at least cope the gain in width with the lose in height.

considering your rubbing right now on 245/35/20, 255/35/20 would be worst.

is it 40 offset all around? is the wheel poking, sitting flush or alittle in? im sorry for the question. im looking at a set of 20s myself =]

You just need to roll your fenders and cut the tab.
