Hey all,

i can tell you right now ur gonna need to go with a lot smaller tire in the front like a 235/30 or even a 225/35 or 225/30. There are people in here running 20x8.5 in the front w/ a 235/35/20 w/ no suspension mods and they are still rubbing so theres no way a 245/30 will work esp if ur gonna lower the car...

....as for the rear, im not 100% sure but i dont think it will fit. If it does fit ur gonna need a smaller tire once again like a 275/30/20 or so.

Hope that helps

8.5 +17 is very very aggressive just so you know, especially being 20".....really need major fender mod on the front...with very stretch tire to pull it off...good luck!

The rear is fine! I think 275/30 should work. May have to go with a 265 series tire? With the offset and rim width you can make that work. 285 is pushing it but anything is possible if you want to put the time and $$ into it. Fender mods may be necessary for 275/30.....

the front I have nothing I can offer you

I wouldnt be caught on the road dead with a 25 series tire The roads must be pretty good in CA?? but they are not in IL that is for sure! We have 2 season here! Winter and Road construction.

either way with the rear the OP has options...it boils down to the look or style they are looking to get!
