Default *PICS* 20x10 Vertini Staggered | Tire Question...

Well if things go as planned tomorrow I will have enough money to buy these staggered Vertini 20x10/20x8.5 wheels.

If not I will go with some 20x8.5 Niche F-18's from CL member kyoso23 here in AZ.

I'm now on the search for tires and I'm wondering what the cheapest/smallest tire is that I can put on the 20x10 rear wheel???

For the front tires I'm set...

I've found (2) 75% tread left 245/35/20 Nitto555's for $125 total. Or (2) brand new 245/35/20 (unknown brand) for a total of $140.

I've only found (1) rear tire so far and it's a Toyo T1-S 275/30/20 for $125...

These Vertini wheels are $1000 shipped, here's the pics...













Please let me know what the smallest/cheapest tire is I can put on a 20x10 wheel.

Thanks for your help and opinions.

Thanks, But they aren't purchased yet (very close though) I do plan on a DF210 with rolled fenders next. But first and for most I need to find out what the smallest/cheapest tire is that I can fit on the rear.

are you sure you want to get 'cheapest' tire?
make sure your temp ratings are AA! i know you can fry eggs on the concrete out there! (my friends have done so)

Ya it needs to be the cheapest, but of course I'll make sure it's rated accordingly, your right the temps reach 120deg in the summer time here in AZ, tires get roasted!

I'm the poorest CL member on these forums Right now I've got $40 to my name until tomorrow so I'm on a budget.

HAHA, you nailed it right on... According to the last (2) digits of my SS I should be getting my $600 on May 9th since I electronically filed, but it turns out I never got it.... After doing some research I found that only hlaf or so of the poeple in that May 9th group get it that day, the other half gets its May 16th They only do it on Fridays.

Ive been wondering what these would look like on a 2gs. They are really classy looking, especially for an ebay wheel.

you can run a 245/35 on a 10 its not that bad of a stretch, unless you are ultra conservative...

Hmm, if I could run 245/35 on the 10" wide rear that would save me $400-$500.

Do some tires stretch better the others?

I can get (4) 95% tread Nitto NT555 245/35/20 for $268 total right now if I run those all the way around it would work out great.

What do you mean by "ultra conservative"?
