I just recently bought some 20s for my 06' GT and I am getting them on monday. Tshe tires that the dealer want to put on are yokos es 100s 275/30/20 in the rear and 245/35/20 up front. Is that weird that the sidewall for the ones on the front are bigger? I thought if the sidewalls were going to be different then the would be bigger in the back. What do you guys think?

Nah man, you gotta think about it.. the middle number is a % of the total width of the tire. The front tire is small i.e. 255/45/18, its 45% of 255 across, and 285/40/18 in the back, 40% of 285 across... basically there is more width in the back, so less of a percentage of the total width is sidewall, basically evening out in the end.

I have Falken FK452's, 255/35/20 up front and 275/35/20 in the rear. They look great, ride great, and are reasonably priced. Hope that helps you.

The tires your dealer's recommending will be about 1/4" shorter in the back. And the fronts and rears are both shorter than stock, which I personally wouldn't do. The sizes djmac95listed are more normal.

i went 255/35/20 up front and 275/30/20 out back. Everything fits fine and it looks great, no rubbing on turns or anything.
