Tire Package Im getting...but

[Wind-Farmer]

Ok, I want this package, very reasonable price.

I need your guys input on this.

I am getting 20"x8.5" in the Front
and 20"x10" in the Rear

Ok,

Now, Tire size the package comes with:

-245-35ZR-20 Front
-295-30ZR-20 Rear


The part I am not liking is this:

The sidewall on the rear Tires will be shorter, Not much, but shorter.
And, 295 is hellaciously wide, will that be so wide it will make my car look ridiculous?

I am so close to buying this package, but it just scares the crap out of me that the rear might be just to wide and that it will have less sidewall than the front.


Please give me your thoughts,

Thanks!!!!

what brand tires are they? from what i've heard some nittos run short. a nitto 315 isn't as big as a bfg 315 etc.

i had 315s on my old car, loved the stance, loved the stripes it left. i don't think i'm going to go for anything smaller then a 305 when i get a new set of rims.

I think you already have the best looking wheels for this car! If you do go aftermarket, I would suggest looking at smaller wheels and more tire. Comfort and performance

That's a sick combo...don't worry, the wider the better. As long as it doesn't look like the KITT attack mode LMAO!!!!

Nothing wrong with the width at all. But personally, I'd get the wheels and tires separately, or see if they can substitute. It looks much better with both the front and rear having the same sidewall. It's especially noticeable on 20's when the sidewall in the rear is shorter. . But 295 is definitely not too wide for the wheel. Not at all.

I also love the wheels already on your car. I'd save the money or spend it on something else like some extra power under the hood.
The wheels you already have are beautiful.

Dimension Tire A: 295/30 R 20
Width 11.61" (295.00mm)
Sidewall height 3.48" (88.50mm)
Overall height 26.97" (685.00mm)
Circumference 84.72" (2151.99mm)

Dimension Tire A: 245/35 R 20
Width 9.65" (245.00mm)
Sidewall height 3.38" (85.75mm)
Overall height 26.75" (679.50mm)
Circumference 84.04" (2134.71mm)

just because the ratio is a smaller number does not make the sidewall shorter. for example, a 245/45/17 and a 275/40/17 tire are nearly identical in height. the tires listed here are going to be OK.

295 on 10" wide wheel is fine on our cars. That is what I run and they don't even come close to rubbing, even lowered 1.5". I wouldn't let a tenth of an inch in sidewall height stop you if you want that setup. It won't be noticeable.

Thanks guys, I still have some deciding to do. Do you think 20 by 8.5 would still be alright on the rear?, especially since I will NEVER race the car, I will add power and suspension etc. but it will never be on the drag strip, pure for my leisure.

Anyway, thanks guys!


P.S. I this package was for the Nitrous Legends, but I saw the legends on a Mustang the other day, and YUCK YUCK YUCK!!!!

I will go with the Nitrous or the Zenettis, but I cant find anywhere to buy the Foose Nitrous staggered package, nor the Zenetti Throwbacks.

You can still tell the difference. They sit differently on the wheel, so even though they will technically be taller, they will look shorter.

Logically, If youy have the same size all the way around it will make things easy when it comes to rotating them suckers.
