Question on Tire Size for 20" Razors

Hey all,

I'm putting 20" Chrome Razors, 40mm offset on my 06. It has FRPP on it, so it's dropped a bit. I'm thinking about 265-35-20 all around. A couple of sites say that's too wide for the front. What does everyone think? I know the Saleens have 275 up front, so I thought it would be OK.

Thanks,

John

Glenn,
Thanks. I'm a bit concerned about sidewall height too. I think the 255-35-20's need a little more. I'm even considering 245-40-20 like a few others have done, but I really wanted wider.

I went with 265/35/20 all around so I could rotate ... but I used a 24mm offset ... no issues to date

I'm running 255/40/20 front and 295/40/20 rear & love the setup. No rub at all, but I'm not dropped

Beware of going a bit wide, road debris gets kicked up and injures or dirties your fenders.

I'm running Nitto 555 P265/35/20 all the way around on 40mm offset razors with the Eibach Pro-kit. I have had no issues with them. Perfect size and fit if you want to rotate your tires.
