What tires do you run on your 20"'s please
G'day Guys,
My new wheels are set to be with me soon 9x20 & 10x20 so I need to source some decent tyres, before I hunt for the wrong ones please can anyone who had there stang lowered by 1.5" (think my SGT is like that) or so recommend what size to go for. Would like to stay away from the rubber band look. Would you also like to mention what tyre brand is best for general driving.
I had a quick look & can see (f) 255 & (r) 285 have been mentioned also 275 all round by some members but would like to keep the ratio to 35 or even 40 to help with the bumps & lumps!
As I'm going for the staggered look I would like the widest tyres I can get on the rear...not overly bothered about the front other than to avoid the train track feel...
Many thanks!

275's all around are best in my opinion. You can run them with no spacers and rotate them normally. I have been running them for maybe 6 years with no rubbing or any issues.

I have 255-35-20 front 285-30-20 rear nitto nt555 the side walls are perfect match from front and rear and does not look like a low profile or too big of a side wall. They grip and go over bumps very well.

All done - many thanks for all the input...it is a mine field!
Going for 265/35/20 up front & 275/35/20 out back! Michelin Super Sport -
All 4 delivered for a little over a grand(that's about $1550)...gulp!
Should get no rubbing & I gather it's gonna look OK on a 10" rim
Cheers fellas!
