Default wheel help
Hey everyone, I got these asanti from a friend of mine as a gift. he had them on his g35 before he sold it. the rear fit but i knew that the fronts wouldn't. they rub too much when turning.. i was wondering if anyone could help with a front tire size. they are 20x8.5 and rears are 20x10.5. right now the fronts are 245/35/20 and backs are 275/30/20. thanks

235/30 or 245/30 for less of a stretch. Really 235 is fine on a 8.5.

Heat gunning the wheel well might solve it. Your tire is a bit too large in the front but if it only rubs when turning that's the cheapest fix.
