RE: Tire size suggestion for 20" wheels...yes again.
I just did a search on those Toyo 315/35/20s and there only $295, that's cheaper then Nittos I am looking at.
Now the question is, do I have the ***** to put that big of a tire on a 10" wheel...

I like the look of 265/35/20 up front and 285or 295/30/20 in the rear. I have 285/30/20 in the rear and love the stance it gives when beating the competition. I think a 40 series tire witha 20 inch rim will look like crap and not fit well into the fenderwell.

Anyone else running sportlines and 20's? Please more info on wheel size and tire size...I need to order tires! I am still leaning towards 275/35-20's for the rear. I have a feeling the 285/30-20 dont have enough height. Anyone???

If running the sportlines whichI think is a 2 inch drop the 30 series tire will fit fine and I would go a bit wider in the back than 275's. I have a one inch drop in the back and the tire fills the fender well nicely and doesn't rub. Just a fact as well as an opinion. J

Here are the before and after photos
The first photo on rear was 305/25/20
The second photos is the 295/40/20, both no rub no problem, perfect fit.

for what it's worth, i got some 265/35ZR20 dunlop sp sport 8000s on ebay new for $450 shipped. obviously that means they're not offset. so far so good and they look freakin awesome. . . haven't driven the car much on them so can't vouch for them other than they're softer than butter! 200 treadwear rating. I have the saleen 20s like the other guys, although they're all 9s rather than offset,and I've got Steeda ProAction shocks with Steeda Sport springs. Here are some pics: [haven't figured out how to get the damn things to show up on the post rather than just as an attachment!!]
