I'm in the process of finding some new rear tires and have a few questions...

I'm having a hard time finding good prices on 255/30's for the rear, but found a smoking deal on some new 245/30's @ $120 each.

Has anyone put a 245/30 on a 10" wide wheel before? Will it be safe to do this?

Or should I take my front 245/35's tires which still have 70% tread left and move those to the rear and put the new 245/30's up front to eliminate the fender lining rubbing issue that I currently have?

Here is my current setup...

Front Setup:
20x8.5 w/ 20mm offset
245/35/20 (slightly rubs on fender lining)
DIY Hand Fender Pull

Rear Setup:
20x10 w/ 25mm offset
255/30/20 (no rubbing)
Fenders Cut Flush

***My current ride height is about 1/4" lower then what you see in these pics***

should not be any problems with 245 30... it;ll be like a 235 35 which i rocked on my 10in dpes before.

speedaddic, how long did the tires usually last you?

my front tires were quite some time. The rear I changed after 10k? because of the camber.

you could either buy the new ones 245/30 or just use the ones in the front for now they will be fine, thats what im running 245/35's

Cool, In about 2 hrs I'll be taking my 245/35's off the front and putting them on the rear then taking the new 245/30's and putting those on my fronts.

You should be fine with that. Looks good by the way.

You got anymore pics?....Lovin those wheels on the 2nd gen.

Just got back from the tire shop and the 245/30 up front is perfect... no more rubbing on the inner fender lining. I also really like the look of the 245/35 on the 10" wide rears. More stretch makes the rear wheel look even wider

Will post a few more pics to show the difference.

youre running what up front? 245/35 and a 245/30 out back? that looks funny to have such a stretch out back an absolutely none up front and a taller tire up front than in the rear.

Actually the fronts are lower/smaller, they are 245/30 and the rear's are 245/35.

I originally had the 245/35's up front and some old worn out 255/30's on the back.

I took the 245/35's that were up front and moved them to the back. And purchased 245/30's for the front. I would have gone 225/30 or 235/30, but those were not in stock. I got them new for only $120 each installed which is a pretty solid deal.

In this pic you can see how the 30 series on the front tire looks...
