    is a 295/40/20 too big for a 20x9 wheel? i'd like to do 295/40/20 in the back and 275/40/20 in the front...

    any forseeable issues? will i need to have the computer tweaked to account for the larger tires?

    thanks fellas! :nice:

    According to Tire Rack a 20x9 should use a 255/35/20 for a GT. I'm checking now comparing specs on the tires you are interested in using.

    For a 295(12" section width) they say it should be on a minimum of a 10" wide wheel. On your 9" wheel it will be 1.5" from the bead to the outter tire edge on both sides of your wheel.
    It would be possible to run your combo on a 9" front and 10" rear wheel width.
    Your computer will need to be adjusted. The 295/40-20 is 29.5" tall...my 235/50-18's are 27.2" tall.
