I have the same rims, good choice. I went with a 245/35 ZR sumitomo tire. You don't want to put just any tire on your rim, get a good Z rated tire and make sure after you have purchaced your tires that you rotate them regularly. I rotate mine every 3000 miles. The sumitomo's cost me 275.00 a tire. make sure you go to a good tire shop, you know a place that won't try to rip you off. I hope this helped. Just remember Z rated.

Your size options are 245/35-20, 235/35-20, 225/35-20 (looks too skinny), 245/30-20 (not a lot of cushion). Of these i'd recommend the first size so long as your offset is right on the wheels it'll work.

The best tires are Bridgestone S-03 ($290 each) and Michelin Pilot Sport2 ($325 each). There are some cheaper tires but those have been widely regarded as the best.

Let me know the width and offset of the wheels if you know.

I think they are 20x8 and the offset is45 because those are the same rims I have and thats what mine are. My tires are sumitomo 245/35r20 275.00 a tire, I never herd of this brand until I got my rims, and the guy that sold them to me said they're a pretty good tire. So far I've had know problems. No rubbing, uneven ware, they tuck in real nice.
