Hello all,

was wondering what's the widest tire you can put on a 20x8 rim (rear) without rubbing??

TIA!!

255. 275 will fit but will be pudgy. Also depends on your offsets.

Why the hell would you put a 275 tire on an 8" rim lol

for traction, silly rabbits...

275 on the front (8in rims)
315 on the rear (10.5 rims) oem widened for the sleath look

DOMO

i never recommended it, just said it's been done


(that's at VIR in 2005 at about 75-80 mph going onto the front straight)
g35 greddy TT with lots of upgrades...

Isn't a 275 on an 8 inch wheel dangerous? It's already overkill on a 9 inch wheel. 275mm is over 10 inches wide.
315 on a 10.5 sounds nice though.

ya, it's definitely pushing the limits, but those goodyears have a natural bulge in them and worked great on the track & street

& I pushed those street tires as hard as a novice driver could

probably wouldn't work on a 20 in rim, but you never know...

plenty of 350z guys run 275's all the way around on the oem 18x8.5 for auto-cross & track use


BUT:

255/35 r20 is probably right on the money, lots of choices in max performance tires.

What about a 8.5 wheel? I'm think about doing 255's on all four wheels?
