Default Not another tire question...

Ok so the wheels are on the way, now need some tires. 20X8.5 +20 and 20X10 +20.

From the months of searching I'm looking at 245/35 R20 and 275/30 R20, but didn't find anyone with the same offsets and these size tires so I figured I'd ask twice and buy once. I know it works with +30 or +40 offsets i've seen that done but mine are +20 front and rear.

Ofcourse rears cut and fronts rolled, looking to drop on air and tuck.

Any pics with these sizes would be great to give me the idea how the tires will look.

Yes I see some people on that site using 225/30R20 on the 8.5" front and and 225/35R20 on the 10" rear

The question was if 245/35 R20 and 275/30 R20 would still tuck with +20 offsets or will I be forced to stretch down to 225'S like the others. The local tire dealer won't answer my question as they say the rims are not standard offset recomended for the GS. So I want to be sure before ordering.

My bad where I wrote 245/35 for the front I ment 245/30.

So its either streach Front 225/35 Rear 245/35, or Fat with Front 245/30 Rear 275/30.

I'll probably go with the strech to be safe.
