Kuz, did you purchase yet?
Are any other members running 35 series tires on a 20" wheel? I wanna see how it looks up front. How much, if any, would this restrict ride height? I planned on dropping my front end significantly to sit on top of the 30 series tires. Hoping the taller sidewall doesnt affect anything TOO much.

Its still need the same overall diameter of 25 inch regardless to have the correct reading.
If using both rear wheels would be easier for you people to understand then sure I will post it.
255/35R18 overall diameter 25.03"
255/30R20 overall diameter is 26.02
Still 1" bigger and 3.98% difference.
Similar size difference if I use 225/40R18 front wheel for comparing.
Do the f-ing math.

Why would it matter if it's front or rear, 20 or 18"? Its still need the same overall diameter of 25 inch regardless to have the correct reading.

The op has 20 inch wheels front and back. No one is telling him to use 35 ar on his 18 inch Front wheels. We're saying to use a 35ar on his 20 in wheel. Having the overall 26in diameter will only affect his mph reading, which will be off, but it will not give him the error that he's getting.
Switching to the 35ar front tire will give him overall diameter of 26.2 front and 26.02 rear. Well within tolerance to prevent the message he's getting.

Do you think 225/45R18F 255/40R18 is a correct size for the car?
