How big can you go

[BayBoss]

I am going to put 20s probably the axis GTR rims but i am curious how wide of a tire i can use. I have been looking and it looks like if i want to go wider then a 275 i will have to go with a 40 series tire. I am curious what other people have done and how wide i can go in the front and the back i was thinking either a 295 or 285/40/20 for the rear and 275/40/20 on the front. I was also considering lowering the car a bit just to make up for the huge gap between the tire and fender if there is any.

from what i have seen, you should be good with those tires. front and rear.

saleen uses 275s all the way around.

to keep the stock diameter with a 20 inch wheel and a 285 tire i believe you need a 30 series tire, a 40 series will throw your speedo way off unless you recalibrate yoru comp for the tire change, i believ this is how saleen works the 275/40 on a 20 inch rim... your best bet on a 20 is either 285/30 or 275/35 and for the front 255/35 looks best. do a search for a tire size calculator and it gives you the differences in speedo, diameter, revs per mile and things like that.

i am not worried about the speedo just dont really want the tire to stick out or have rubbing problems in the front when i turn.

I had 20's on my Mustang with TOYO proxi4 tires a while back and there was not much of a gap to worry about lowering the car without it appearing like the fenders were sitting on the tires, as far as lowering the car is concerned.

The original GT-R concept car had:

Front:
Pirelli P275/35/20 racing slicks
20 x 10-inch, 5-spoke billet aluminum wheels

Rear:
Pirelli P315/30/20 racing slicks
20 x 11-inch, 5-spoke billet aluminum wheels

Though I believe the GT-R had extended fender flares. My Saleen has 20x9 front with 275/35 tire and 20x10 rear with 275/40 tire and they look great.

I dropped mine with the sportsline kit from eibach and i have 19" adr racing rims with 295/55/35 on rear and 255/55/35 on front. Rides great with no rubbing or anything...just lots of looks

im confused on your tire sizes. did you mean 295/35/19 rear and 255/55/19 fronts?

That looks good and i like the tire selection to bad there sizes for 20s suck unless i want to go 275.

My bad guys...I have 295/35/19 in the rear and 255/40/19 in the front. They are KDW BFGOODRICH tires and i have the spartan ADR Racing wheels. I love them and it rides great. The wide tire in the rear is unbelievable

I heard you can put 305 up to 315 in the rear, with the extra wide might need some adjustments..i have 295/35/19 in the rear with no problem and plenty of room
