Default New shoes
Finally got some new shoes. Black chrome 20". After puytting them on . I realized I am going to have to drop it now. I should of went 245 instead of 225. But the guy at the shop convinced me that 245 35 is too out of spec and will throw off everything. Which I thought was a loud of bull but whatever, I'm happy.

Ya either drop it or get the bigger tire. The right spec I believe is 245/30/20. Or if your running staggered 245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 in the back. Me personally im running 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 on an 07 awd

I run 225/35-20 and 265/30-20 on an 07 AWD. 245 would rub with my offsets and lowered suspension.

What brand tires are you running. I'm considering the same spec tires but I am unable to find a brand and model that matches those sizes.
