Hey Guys,

I'm thinking about buying those Zenetti Mystiks in 20s. But I need some advice on what tire size I should get. I'm planning to pick up some bilstein shocks and eibach springs, so what size should I go? Is it possible to go 40 series on these with this type of setup or do I have to go 30 series? I'm just trying to get the best ride, so I would prefer 40 series. Please let me know what size you guys use. Should I expect it to rub?

The Zenetti Mystiks will not be available in multiple widths.....so, IMO, if this is the rim you really want (even after Manaray sees this post)and you dont care if it is a staggered set-up or not, I would suggest (based on both price and quality) the Nitto 555 245/35/20.....I really dont think you will find a better solution OVERALL.....
At one point I REALLY thought I wanted the 20" Mystik as well, but after weighing ALL the options, data, etc. I graduated to the 20" Work Equips...Make sure you consider all that is involved before deciding..I would say that if you have already set a budget that you are not willing to exceed, then purchase a TOP NOTCH 18" instead of a mediocre 20"......again, just MO though...
Check the gallery, another one of our members got the 20" Mystik in silver and it looks awesome....
Hope this helps.....Tiny

Tiny,

you have graduated with HONORS

now let see some pics soon of those forged, 3-piece Equips.

Caine,

only nittos, toyos ,and pirellis have the correct 20s in tyres. my would take the nittos or toyos. the 40 series would be too tall-possiblity ruining the suspension in the future.

will

ps. did you received my PM on the bilsteins? thanks

I would recommend Toyo T1-S in 245/35/20. If you really want the 40 series, you should go with Yoko AVS. I believe they have 40 series. Not too many tire companies have 40 series in 20's FIY.

Tiny: Impressive.

Duma: Those rims are CRAP. Buy the real thing, Weds Kranze Cerebrus. Also those rims will not allow you to do big brake upgrades.
