Not lowered now
Front wheels 20x9 et32
Rear wheels 20x10.5 et30
I'm comfortable with running a 275 30-20 on the rear however my main question is the front tire . I really would like to run a 255 30-20 in the front but I do not want to have to roll any fenders and at some point I might want to put meister coilovers on the vehicle. I would prefer not to have to deal with any rubbing issues as well. Does anybody have any advice on the 255 front application ? Goodbye stock wheels and ride height
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks... Robert
Not sure this is helpful to you, but I was running a staggered 21" setup: 21x9 + 22 with a 255/30/21 and a 21x10.5 + 34 with a 295/25/21 lowered on Tein S-Tech springs and I only rubbed on big bumps/reverse at full lock.
I've dropped down to a 19x9 + 15 and a 19x10 +20 with 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 that's being installed this weekend. I'm now running coilovers so I expect to be able to set things up for daily with no rubbing ever.

Thanks for the info. You gave me exactly the info I need. Moving forward with 245 35-20 in the front and 285 30-20 in the rear. Once I get some pictures I will let you know how it goes. Once again thanks for taking the time out to share your information
I'm currently running F235/35/19 and R275/30/19. The ride is so bad so I'm changing to F245/40/19 and R 285/35/19.
Low profile is nice for look but ride comfort is no where to be found.

I'm glad it was helpful! I debated on 285/30/19, but I because of the aggressive fitment of the new wheels, I wanted to rub a slightly narrowed tire for fitment. Also, I need more sidewall height for daily use, thus the 275/35.
Can't wait to see pics and I'll post up mine next week.

Exactly why I changed my mind and went with 275/35. The -30 looks good, but I'm expecting -35 to ride better and not damage my wheels.
For you to get an idea what it might look like.
I just replaced the 2 rear tires with 285/35/19 today. It's huge. And the fender gap is huge as well . I can't justify to spend extra $ for coil over since I just replaced the rear shocks like a thousand miles ago.
Here is a 275/35/19 on a 19x10 if this helps at all. The visible different between XXX/30 and XXX/35 was minimal, so I opted for the thicker sidewall for the better ride.
so I ended up running 245 35-20 with a 20 by 9 ET 32 on the front and a 285 3020 on the rear 20 x 10 and 1/2 e t 30. Everything fits perfect. Just ordered the Meister coilovers today. I'll send pictures after it gets lowered.
