Tire Help

I have 20 inch X 8.5 inch rims, and the car is lowered 1.5 inches. I currently have the following tire setup 20/35/255 in the front and back. Does anyone know if I can get a pair of wider tires on the front and back with my current rim width?

I would like to go with 20/35/275 in the front and back....will this work?

RE: Tire Help

275/35/20 on all 4 corners will work. Saleens run this size. You can also run either 245 or 255/40/20 on all 4 corners and this will give a little more sidewall and this makes it ride a little smoother.

Thanks...does anyone know the largest tires that will fit on the front & back of a 8.5 inch rim....can I go larger than 275?

Recommended rim width for 20/35/275 is 9-11"
