tire setup with swifts
I have a coupe dropped on swift springs. I also have a set of 20 inch concept ones, front being 245/35/20 22et and rear 275/30/20 27et. I really like the way the rear looks but it seems that the tires stick out a bit more than I'd like so I'm thinking of running the 265s in the rear. However, the fronts do not sit as flush so I am wondering if I switched to 255/35/20 in the front if that would make it more flush?
The other thing is I am running nittos 555 all around and it doesn't look like they make a 265. Can I run another tire instead?
Anyone have any pics of this type of setup with 255 in front and 265 in rear?

can someone please chime in? Need some help from the experts on here.
Is a 255/30/20 tire on the rear too stretched for safety/traction?
The nitto 555s don't come in 265/30/20 so now I am wondering if I need to change all of the tires or if I could run a different tire in the rear?
Also, I'd like to fill in the front gap a little more with a 255/35/20, would that fit?

The nittos are a very square tire so you should be fine in the fronts with 255
Is your rear wheel width 10 or 10.5j? Either way a 255 on a 10.5 j rim is IMO stretched above my comfort zone.
I'm sure other members will chime in and say how they run a 225 tire on a 11j rim or whatever

255 on a 10.5 will be stretched for sure
