Default Tire question?

I have a 20x10.5" wheel and am wondering if I could fit a 255/35 Falken 452 on there? I picked up a four inch rod of some sort, some how and went through the sidewall and need a new tire but figuring that I might as well change the size because I wanted more of a stretch anyway. All of your input will be greatly appreciated.

Should be fine even though a 255 Falken is not that much of a stretch since they run a fat sidewall.

452s are reknowned for bubbling so if you are going for more stretch i wouldnt go for Falkens.

try to find a narrower running 255/35, or go for a wider/regular running 245/35

You can put a 245/35/20 if you want. Or a 255/30/20.

Forgot about this thread. I was running a Nankang NSII 245/35/19 on a 10". Some options for you as far as brands Nankang NSII Nexen N7000 Nexen N3000. They all run pretty true to size.
