FINALLY made a decision and ordered some wheels (tire question inside)
Shout out to forum vendor B2Auto (www.b2autodesigns.com) for the great deal on the wheels, and vendor TeamSNS (www.speednstyles.com) for the insane deal on megan ez coilovers. Went with MRR HR3's in
20x8.5 +35 Front
20x9.5 +40 Rear
should be arriving in a few days.
What size tires should I run? I'd like whatever is going to provide the most protection possible:
I've seen two setups on this forum:
option 1: FRONT:245/35/20 and REAR:275/30/20
option 2: FRONT:235/35/20 and REAR: 255/35/20
Any reason I can't run 245/35/20 front and 255/35/20 rear or would that be mismatched?

Ah ok, didn't realize that the rolling diameter had to match as best as possible.
In the following scenarios then.....
FRONT:245/35/20 and REAR:275/30/20
= Rolling diameter difference of .26, taller diameter in the front
FRONT:245/35/20 and REAR: 255/35/20
= Rolling diameter difference of .27, taller diameter in the rear
Is it better to have the bigger diameter on the front tires or the rears? or is it negligable.
I don't doubt your suggestion of 245/35 + 275/30 being the ideal size, just trying to understand why.
Thanks

actually, now that i look at it.... 235/35/20 front, 275/30/20 rear, judging by that chart above, is going to give the closest fitment all the way around:
Overall Diameter: 26.47 in 672.33 mm
Overall Diameter: 26.49 in 672.84 mm
Overall Diameter: 26.47 in 672.33 mm
Overall Diameter: 26.49 in 672.84 mm
