245/35/20 is what i run on the front, i like the way they look. but i think alot of people run the 255/35/20. id call a local tire shop brands like toyo and bfg will be high but stuff like nexxxen and hankook may be cheaper

to keep the overall diameter as close to stock, you want to run a 255/35/20

as far as brands, you'll probably get several opinions, but I've had both Nitto's and Toyo's in this size and was extremely pleased with both...I am currently running Toyo 255/35/20's on the front of my car..

A 20" tire with a 35 profile... I think Officemax has rubberbands close to that size...

285 is far from too much on a 10' rim.
295/30 is what most people run.
I'm running 305s next though...

Yeah thats what im thinking is 295/30/20 for the back on my 10 inch wides. I wish there were more pictures of this.. i want to fill the wheel wells out as much as i can without making it look bad and not lowering. Also im having a hard time finding 285 and 295s on ebay or discount tire and im not trying to pay a crazy amount if anybody knows a good place..

Toyo Proxes 4 are excellent tires. I have 245/35's & 295/30's...



I usually get my tires from tires-easy. In fact I have replace these real soon.
