If so, can I please see some pics? Also, what size are you running up front and are you on stock suspension? When I grew up muscle cars had big beefy tires. I want to go that direction but everyone tries to talk me out of it. I was actually looking at 255/45/20 for the fronts.

295/45/20 rear tires

I am not running this size tire on the rear. I am running 275/45/20 on the rear.
I do not have any pictures to send but this size fits very good on the rear.

As for the 255/45/20 on the front I tried this size and the tire rub when turning left or right.
I went with 245/40/20 on the front and I have no problems.
 
255/45/20 tires

I have the 255/45/20 tires in my garage.

I got a good deal on these tires when I bought my 20" wheels.

I was very disappointed that these did not fit.

I had to buy the smaller tires, and I have been trying to sell these tires for about 3 months.

If you know anyone that may want to buy the 255/45/20 tires they have less then 1k miles on them from the person I bought them from.

I am selling these 2 tires for $150 plus shipping.
 
I'm running Nitto NT555 255/35/20s on the front and Nitto NT05 315/35/20s on the rear. Car is lowered with a mild drop, Steeda Sport Springs, and I don't get any rubbing in the front. It rubs in the rear when there are people in the back seat but I rarely ever have anyone in the back seat. I've never had it rub in the rear without people in the back. Here's a good picture of my car with Nitto NT555R 305/35/20s.

I hope this helps!
 
I am about to purchase 20's for my car as well and I want to have a bigger taller tire on the rear as well. The wheels currently have 255 35/20 on all four wheels. (20x8.5's) What size tire can I run to make the rear tires a little taller? when reading the size is it the first number that is the width and the 2nd number that is the sidewall hiegth?

ausmad said he's running 275/45/20 in the rear. Those would fit on your rims. I did get my 295/45/20 and 255/45/20 installed and they look great in my opinion!
