Default whats the width of your tires on 20"s?

just blew a tire in the rear. They rubbed out on the inner side of the wheel well but i couldnt find a spot they kept hitting. anyone else have this problem? and anyone else have crucial rubbing on the high way going onto and off of bridges? just wondering.

what was the size of your tires?

if you matched them up to match the same overall size of the stock tires, then you shouldn't had an issue unless your suspension was to soft/loose, or they were to wide.

what are the specs of the rims and previous tires you had?

and the offset? what size are the tires?

if it was all matched up, and the offset is not to severe, you shouldn't have problems.

my 18's with a 265 wide tire doesn't rip my fenders apart,


find out the offset. but if it's a 8.5 wide tire you should have around a 245/30R20 or 235/35R20

i would say, post a pic my friend: the offset is usually on the back of the wheel either on a sticker (high end wheels) or stamped on the back of the rim.

+35 on a 20, 19 or 18 x10 with a 245/30/20, 245/35/19 or 265/35/18 tire wouldn't rub. I know cause i had those setups before and never rubbed until i max-lowered my coilovers on the 20's; on the other rim/tire combos i nver rubbed
