Good looking rims. At least, I think so [8D]I'm running 295/30/20 on the back and 255/35/20 on the front. Just something to think of though....different sizes would mean you can't rotate front and back. And if you get directional tires, you can't rotate side to side. That's my setup, and it's something I have to deal with. But I've heard that if you keep the wheels balanced and aligned and at the right PSI, then it shouldn't be a problem. Just tossing that out there for ya!

The advantage of having wider tires in the back is for traction. I want as wide a tire as I can fit under there. I have a set of M&H 17x325 on order. You wouldn't want that wide a tire in the front though. -Joe

I am running 265/35ZR20 BFG's on 20x9 inch wheels all the way around so that I can rotate them. When you stagger the fitment, it looks great but then you cant rotate and you will be buying front tires more often.

There is some miss info in this thread!
Depending on where in R is in the tire size designation!
The "R"could standfor radial tire!
OR
The "R" could stand for a speed rating of 106 usually found on a light truck tire.

Not that anyone wants to know but if a tire has the following letters;

LT stands for Light Truck tire
P stands for Passenger car tire
C stands for Commercial tire
T stands for Temporary tire (as in inflatable spare)
ST stands for Special Trailer tire

Hmmm more useless information I'm full of!

Bah. The only letters that matter to us are "ZR".
