Hey everyone,
I am trying to get the
Velgen Split5 Wheel 20"X9" And 20"X10.5" and I am wondering what the best tire size would be. I still have the stock wheel gap. Also what kind of brand would you recommend? I am looking at Nitto Invo! Please let me know if you have any pics of tires and how they look like please post them!

Try something around a 255/35 front and a 305/30 rear. They will be a good fit for those wheel widths.

Go by what the tire manufacturer says not some random chart off the internet. Some 305's will fit a 10" wide wheel, but most will fit a 10.5". Here is a snipit from nitto's website for the NT05 in a 305/30/20

305/30ZR20 103W XL2073207.227.2412.3210.5-(11.0)-11.51929@5032.91

You'll notice that in the sixth column over from the left it shows the minimum width-(recommended width)-max width.

Another good reference is Tire Rack, and to further illustrate I Bleed's point, here's what I had to deal with the other day:



All of these are 305/30r20's, but tread width vary from 11.1 to 11.7, because Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, and Ford asked Michelin for a tire specially made for their supercars. Also, duh, the bigger the tire, the more expensive it is :
305/30/20 - $534 , 305/35/19 - $423 , 295/30/18 - $381

If I didn't get such a deal on my 20s, I'd go just big enough to clear my Brembos, and lots of the excellent budget tires don't go that large (Federal ss595, Bridgestone RE71, BFG Rival-S)

If you're not doing track days or autocross and looking for a value, what about Kumho Ecsta PS91? $157/front, $228/rear

I wow thank you so much for that. Actually i researched a lot and I am thinking about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4. I need to invest in good tires. Every tire speicalist i ask gives me a different answer tho!

Mps 4s are good tires too, depends on what you're looking for, and what you're doing. I think mps4s you can go 255/30 and 295/30, which should have a 27" tire diameter (so your speedo is still dead on) and still fit pretty nice. Anything taller or shorter will start knocking it off. Rears like $350 and fronts $320.

Yeah i just need good tires for the daily drive in rain and sun! Id rather spend a little more. They either recommend 255/35R20 and 275/35R20 or 265 or 285
