I'm ready to purchase 20" wheels & tires (staggered) and I'm trying to decide on tire sizes!
So anybody who's got 20"s please post a picture and tell what size tires you have!!
A side view would be great!!!

Thanks Chip

There's no perfect size 20" made as of yet. I heard a rumor that both Nitto and BFG have some things in the works, though.

Looks like your body kit was painted with a different color yellow than the rest of the car [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]

Yeah, it's a little off, but it's close enough for me to warrant not spending another $500 to get it redone [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]

I have the 20inch Foose nitrous with Toyo tires 255/35/20 for the front and 285/30/20 in the rear. looks good ,But I think I might go with a 285/35/20 for the rear when these wear out. But I really like the looks of the toyo tires sweet!

Forgot to mention that mine are Nitto 555's. Their directional, so you can't rotate the tires at all, just FYI.

255 35s in the front and 275 55s in the rear seem to be the most popular choices

Currently running 255/35/20 up front and 285/30/20 rears. I think that a little more meat would look better in the rear. Maybe a 295/40/20.

I agree. I'd like a little more rubber on my rear wheels next time.

So it sounds like everyone would like to go with a little bit more sidewall (40 series) I like the look of this car but don't know what size? In 1 of his post he states that they are nitto 555 255 front & 275 back but I don't know if there 35 or 40 (sidewall)
anybody ever seen this car?

I'll get you my tire size a little later. I have just the right amount of meat on the tire.

A 315/30 would be the perfect rear tire for these cars if only someone would make them.
