the nittos are a good choice .....about 145 for the front per tire and its about 290 for each rear...is that kinda high or is that the norm...i feel like an *** spending more on the tires than i did for the rims...

Grabber what brand did you buy? I couldn't match front and rears in the same brand with those sizes.

We went with 255x35x20 front and 285x30x20 BFG KDW2 on both cars. Real good dry traction and excellent wet traction!

FYI the the yellow car is lowered ith Eibach pro sprink kit in the pics.The black car has black bullitts (non DD)20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear. The yellow car has either 20x9 front & 20x10 both black bullitts (non DD)or the chrome Saleen replicas.

Here are a few angles:

That looks good dude, the extra rubber looks so much better on the 20's than what most are running. I did the exact same thing with my 18's, I went with the 295/45 rear and 255/45 up front, which was much meatier than the 35 and 40 sidewall most everybody else was running.
