Default Tire Suggestions For Aftermarket Rims

Hello All,

I recently purchased some aftermarket rims from Vossen, 20'' CV7 w/ MGM finish to be exact, and need suggestions from you guys/gals. My rims that i ordered size are as follows:

Front:
20X9 +32

Rear:
20X10.5 +45

The look I'm going for is not slammed, But Flush. Later down the road I'm planning to lower my 350 IS F-Sport by installing air suspension (most likely Accuair). I just attended Extreme Auto Fest here in San Diego and i've seen lots of stretched tires. Some i liked and some i didn't, the setups i liked were the rims was flush with the fender and the tires were caved into the fender as they lowered the suspension via air. thanks for you inputs

Nitto Invo or 555....I really like the 555

285/25/20

If you want more flush clearly less wide tires will be what you might want.

If its not just looks you care about but also ride, noise and handling, I'd highly recommend looking into Pilot super sports. I've had a really good experience with them. Note they have quite a square side wall so you would probably need to go less wide than what blueprint suggested for the Nittos
