Default Anyone with 255/40/20 on 20x9 +40?




I wanted to get Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for the front and rear. But they don’t have 255/35. It’s just 255/40 unless I go 265/35. So far, I have 265/30 on 20x10 +35 and it rubs on dips while being lowered. I might have raise up my front coilovers to accommodate thicker tires. But I want to lessen the height adjustment as much as possible.

On swifts, I put PSS 255/35/20s on my 20x9. It looked perfect but it rubbed with minimal turning left or right. Had to go back to 255/30/20 but never tried 265/30/20s...they would probably work. As for 20x10, not sure. Good luck!

265/35 your best bet and it’s still way taller than oem. 1.3” taller. That’s a lot.
Cup 2 not in the cards...

I’ve been shopping them for my next track tire.
Supposedly there are some misc size changes in March sometime as Michelin release their new line for the year.
I’m waiting on them to release a 285/30/19 that fits my track rims.
Right now their 285/30/19 only comes in run flat which costs more and have less tread depth.
So may be wait till April to double check available. Good luck.

Thanks for the input guys. I might go for different tires on the front. May go for PS4S 255/35/20. Then, raise front coil over as needed.

Rears would be Cup 2s. 285/30/20 or 305/30/20 depending on which wheels I can sell.

What suspension settings you guys have coilover or lowered springs?

I'm running 265/30/20 on 20x9 +38 and 305/30/20 on 20x11 +39. The fronts rub minimal on that corner tab thing on dips, not much.

40 series tires are for OFF ROAD or the BAJA desert racing. You can also go rock climbing too.

Thanks for the info man. I checked my current and new sizes. It will be almost the same height excep wheel will be more inside and sidewall will be slightly more protruding than before.
