Well I am sick of mods saying "search," so I searched and posted instead ofmaking a new thread, and now you are telling me I should have started a new thread instead?

Those tyres sound too big dude.

You can try to go cheaper with a Hankook 225/35, but you would probably be better served with a Continental 235/30-20

Talk about back from the dead.

And Manaray.... that's a name I haven't heard in forever. I still have his high-res photo of his gold sc in front of the BVLGARI store in Bev Hills printed out and framed.

You think the 235s on a 9inch front will work?

I had either 225s or 235s on my old Supra TT front wheels (8" wide)

Hope that helps

I'm not sure on 20" wheels, but offset also plays a big role here in choosing which tyre size to go with. I've only had experience (up front) with 18x8.5"/+38mm on a 235/40 and there was a slight stretch in those tyres. I personally think that 235 on a 20x9" would be the absolute minimum (taking into consideration the sidewall height and the amount of stretch the sidewalls wil give you). I'm sure one of the wheel gurus will chime in sooner or later to correct me but that's what I see is feasible with that wheel size and being on the safe side of things (thinking that something like a 225 would be too much stretch and then POP, wrecked wheel )
