Help me out fellas. I can't decide on new tire sizes.

They are going to sell them for $20 - $40 cheaper per tire. Call the Discount Tire Little Elm located on 423 ASAP because the tires had about 50 miles on them. They were sticky as honey. I know they sold the 255/40/20 to a Panamara owner but I doubt the 295s have moved.

I called, and they have already shipped them back to Michelin as "ride complaint" takeoffs. Bummer.

Good timing to see this thread....

I have a set of 20x8.5 and 20x10 on the car now, with 255/35/20 and 275/35/20's... I just got a new set of wheels that are 20x9 and 20x11 and don't think I can use the rears but can the fronts...

Question is - how big can I go on the back for a 20x11 rim, have it look well and not rub? 295? 305?

Whats your offset on the rear? You should be able to get at least a 305/35/20 back there if your offset is in the 50s. I assume these are forgestar wheels?

Yeah, they are Forgestars, and the offset is 27.75 - actually I was just informed not to go off what the box says, but check the back of the wheel. I didn't see any indicating marks of what the offset may be..... Just may need to call them to find out.

I just called them, the box is way off.... Gave them the engraved number off of the back and got all the details.

20x9 +34 needs a 255/35/20
20x11 + 53 needs a 295/35/20
