Question The right size for 20” rims with Tanabe TNF112 springs

What is the “right” size for some 20” rims when mounted with some Tanabe TNF112 springs ?
Also I will need some run flat tires with that, any brand you guys will recommend in a size that will work with the rims ?

Are you sure you can even find runflats for 20"? The lifetime on my high profile (225/50-17) stock runflats is approximately 15k-17k. I can only imagine on 20" those are going to be rubberband thin with a fraction of lifetime wear, if anybody makes such. I couldn't find any on tirerack (was just curious).

T1R's... don't think they are runflats though... however,...i had a flat tire, and they didn't tear too badly...so the rim didn't get damaged...

Lowered with JIC coilovers about 2-1/4" running 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 ride is very nice and the wheel almost tucks... Don't really know if they make runflats that you are going to be happy with at all.. Do a search and you will see almost everyone with runflats trades them in... Harsh ride and very noisy... Just my $.02

So basically you guys are going around without a spare ? What happened when you got a flat ? Just driving around with the flat tire ?

you can use a spare still. Unless you've done a BBK upgrade.. the diameter of the spare shouldn't be too much of a difference where it would make it unsafe to drive.

There is no room for a spare on my car, the spare wheel pit is used by the Adaptive Suspension system I believe.
