Default Emergency question for 285 riders!!!!!!!!!

Okay guys I can buy some 285/30/20 series NT555 Nittos right now for cheap, but I have to act ASAP. My wheels are 20x10 42mm offset. Can I run these tires with no problems. I was going to shave the fenders anyways, but will they look right and be the right hieght compared to the 245/35/20s on the front 20x8.5s.

Does any one have this exact setup or know about it with the nittosa? I heard nittos have scrubbing problems. Will I be straight if I shave fenders?

Come guys HELP ME OUT! PLEASE.

Depends on your wheels offset. I run a +45 on my 18X10 (rears of course). I run that size and brand. I havent had any problems besides running into nails, screws etc. These tires are somewhat noisier than your typical yokohama, falken etc. Not a bad tire anyway.

You'll be fine with 285's on a 42 offset. I am going to go 295 on a 44 next time.
