Default Alright i made up my mind....tell me what you think

after numorous hours on this forum i think i should do the following with the fours rims i have
20x8.5 35 offset.

Since all my rims are 8.5 there is no reason to go for a staggered setup.

Therefore I'm planning to mount my rims on 235/30/20 all the way. The reason for this is because my original tires (235/45/17) have the diameter of 25.3in and with the new tire size my diameter is 25.6in. That's a very small difference.

I also hope that this set up will eliminate any rubbing issue at all even if I dicide to lower the car some day.

Please tell me if this isthe right choice, thank you.

everything sounds good to go!

just keep in mind, 235/30/20, that's real rubber band. ride will be pretty harsh and it's almost no protection for the rim.

that's why i voted for 235/35/20 (or 245), but that's your call (it might have a bit rubbing)
