Default Biggest rear tires with 19's or 20's? Post Pics.

I personally hate 20" wheels, but with a big enough rear tire, they could at least not look half as silly. I'm curious to know what the largest final diamiter some one has run on a 20" or 19" wheel without bottoming out on the fender liners. If it's big enough I think it would look sick. Post some pics too, that would help me decide on my new tires.

315 is probably the biggest you can get.

Well not sure of the diameter but a 20" rim with a 40 series tire are being made by Toyo and Nitto now. I love the Nitto Invo's and they have all the diameters of said tires on their website. I think 28.7" or some big number like that...LOL -I will be buying them soon as they only had 30-35 series tires for 20's and I like the taller sidewall. I know others will chime in and they have the 40 series all around and it looks lowered and no rub issues even with a drop! J

Ive got the 19 x 295 x35 and they do not rub Ive also got aset of 305 x18 x 35 nitto drs which still fit nicely. I am lowered with steeda springsand steeda susp.
I went with 19 cause I like the ratio of rim tire a lil better. width wise the 295 fit inside the fenders. heighth wise I am not sur how far up I could go.

I'm thinking of putting 255/40/20 tires on the front and 265/45/20 tires on the rear. That's 27.7 29.4 respectivly as the diamiter. Do you think it will rub with a 1.25 inch drop all around? The stock diamiter is 27.2.

315's on 20's. NOT mine, and no personal experience. I borrowed these pics from an Ebay seller.

I'm running 18's ( I know it is not exactly what the topic was about ) but I'm running 285/40/18's on the back and I'm dropped with the pro-kit with ZERO rubbing issues, even over big bumps... I personally think 18's with a good 40 series tire fills out the fender beautifully with a drop... all depends on if you want to do suspension work or not... I've personally seen a guy with 20's and 305/(30 or 35 cant remember)/20's... and that looked pretty sweet...
