Default 20" Tire Sizing

is anyone running 235/35/20 (Front) and 275/30/20 (Rear) - if so, do your sidewalls appear pretty much matching? 245/35/20 with the 275's just don't look right.

According to this chart - they are almost the same -

Size Diameter Sidewall
265/30/20 26.3 3.13
275/30/20 26.5 3.25
235/35/20 26.5 3.24

285/30/20 26.7 3.37
245/35/20 26.8 3.38
295/30/20 27 3.48

I ran that setup at one point years ago, iirc it was a pretty good match. I didn't think 245-35 and 275-30 was too bad either either. The last few years I've had 225-35 and 275-30 and the rears are noticeably taller to me but I doubt anyone else noticed. The appearance may depend a little bit on how much your stretching the tires or how square they are on the wheels as well as the actual sidewall height. I think you'll be happy with the 235-35 and 275-30 if they work with your wheel specs.

Kyle / Yaboy - thanks for the feedback, exactly how I feel - the fronts look higher in sidewall profile than the backs and it annoys the hell out of me.

I'm thinking 235/35/20 - 275/30/20 is what I'll go with,

Thanks again ma Dudes.
