Default What is the skinniest 20" tire?

I am looking at going for a more stretched look right now.All I can find is a 225/35r20 for an 8.5" rim and 245/35r20 for a 10" rim.I know I can go one step lower for the rear but how about the front?Anybody have pics of a setup like this?Thanks

Could possibly be...I will check tomorrow on those sizes...I'm sure if it was a 20 series then it would have to be a wider tire like lets say 305...or 315....but that is still not skinny...

Yeah I think that BFG 225/30 is the smallest out there right not. Dont know if I would go 10 on 245 either. maybe 10 on 255/30 would be better.

I've seen 25 series on a 21 and 22 inch rims at my local rim shop. I didn't look at the width though but they looked real small maybe a 235.

If you could snap some pics of the 21" I would appreciate it. The newest 21" sizes that I know of are 255/30-21 and 295/25-21.

Although it sounds nuts (25 series profile) remember that the first number is 285, which is not the same as a 225/30 (now THAT is a rubber band).

I am really waiting for a company to step up to the plate with a 245/30-21.
