Default Pulled fender So now I have a ??? For the tire PROs

Ok so the story is I bought 20mm Ichiba v2 spacers about a month ago for the rear. I have 255 35 20 for rear. With this I had to roll and pull fenders for sure. Now that i have that space, what is the biggest tire i can put cause i Love the staggered (Really fat tires) looks.

Well I would like to get a bigger tire setup in the back so you think a 10 would work with a 285 tire?

With the 20mm spacer making the ET a 20x8.5 +15? running a 285 tire? 275/30 works fine on a 10" wide wheel
285/30/20 on a 8.5" wide wheel I would not do it's going to bulge I'd do a 245/30 or a 255/30...

What is the diff between a 275 federal or 275 falkens or 275 nakang? I thought tires were all the same!

Some tires run wider than others...
a 275 Sdrive will have the equivalent sidewall of a 285 standard tire
