Default Tire sizes for those on bags...

I'm currently running 275 30 20 Sumitomo's in the rear on a 10.5" wheel. What sizes are you guys running without rubbing? I'm scared to switch brands because I know some tires are slightly wider than others with the same size, but I'd also like a tire that isn't as stretched.
I'm running 20x10.5 with a 45 offset in the rear with zero rubbing, and shaved fenders.
Thanks for any input you may have guys!

Tire is too big. If you don't want a stretch run a 285/25/20

The tire isn't too big...it doesn't rub at all. I'm afraid a 285/25 will be too wide. It's almost 1/2" wider...plus the sidewall height of the 285 scares me, but I'm definitely going to look into it...Thanks!

I run a 275/30 with +35 on a 20x10.5 and had to do what I consider minor trimming on the fender and bumper tab to tuck them. I also added a tiny bit of negative camber. The inside of the tire hits the bag slightly at full drop. I would imagine with +45 I'd be cutting into that bag pretty good.

Are you rubbing the rear bag at all?

275/30/20 will be fine

I have done it before on stock height lowered on springs, coilovers and bags

if you want a stretch then a 245/35/20 for the rear

( my current setup is 20x10.5 custom offsets 235/35 & 245/35 )

Sorry if I wasn't very clear guys..I'm already on a 275/30/20 with a 10.5 rim. I have zero rubbing on the fender or bags. I was trying to run a tire that is less stretched than the 275, but it seems that I might be running the widest tire I can run. I might just stick with the same brand/size and not mess with something that already works
