275/30/20 on an 8.5" rim
I have had rims sitting in my garage for quite a while now for my 93 GS. There are 20 x 8.5 with a +35 offset. Would a 275/30/20 be too much on the rear? I would have liked to have gone with a staggered setup but found a great deal on these. I know the tire will bubble out some, what do you guys think? Yay or nay? I was planning on running 245/35/20 on the front and depending on the result of the rear (with 275/30/20/), I ws considering 15 or 20mm spacers.
P.S. The reason I am inquiring is because I can get a good deal on 2 275/30/20's

For example, the 05 Lexus GX runs 265/65SR17 with 17 x 7.5-in wheels.

the so much larger sidewall will allow the tire to flex more on turns, etc...
on the other hand, with 275/30, the sidewall is tiny and it's relatively stiffer. when you turns, you want especially the frront, the tire will flex coz' of all the compression and such. with the larger tire i am not sure if it can take it.
just my guess, again i am not 100% sure. someone correct me if i am wrong
