Any pics of some members rides with 285 30 20 rear tires. Guess I'm just having trouble finding some.

I believe there is a wheel and tire thread on here somewhere. I contemplated about this size for my back but decided to stick with 275/35/20 as 285/30/20 is going to be shorter than the stock height and if you are planning on running 255/35/20 in the front.....the tire in the front is going to be taller by a little bit.

I prefer to go with the more aggressive slightly raked look.....I have a +24mm offset with my Shelby Razors.....so 275 or 285 does not make a huge difference in looks from the back view. The +24mm offset really enhances the look of the tire (i.e. makes it look even bigger) in the back.

Hopefully you can see the photos in this thread. The tires on the back are 285/30-20s with 255/35-20s on the front:

Personally, I think 295/30-20s will look a little better (although Toyo Proxes 4s are one of the few tires in this size) since the sidewall is about the same height as the front 255/35-20s.

That sounds a bit short at 26.8", I run 27.6" (275/35/20) tall lowered on FRPP springs. I actually want slightly wider & taller in the rear next time I need tires.
