Post New Tires Dilema

So I am currently using 255/35/20 tires all around on 20 x 8.5 wheels.

After reading some other threads, I see that most of the GS guys are running 245/35/20 in the front with a 275 to 285 rear.

I will more than likely go with the 245/35/20 in the front, but should I go with a 255/35/20 for the rear ?

My car is a 98 GS300 with a stock suspension, but will be installing the Tein CS with the EDFC in a couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance for the replys.

If you want the staggered look then I would suggest to run the 255/35 in the rear with a spacer in the rear. This will get you the look your going for, just contact us and we'll take care of you. What wheels do you have and what is the offsets are they now?

The wheels are ADR Sterlings 20 x 8.5 all around.

I have no clue what so ever what the offset is on them.

I know they are not the best of wheels but so far I have no complaints about them what so ever.

In regards to the spacers, will I have any rubbing issues with the rear fenders if I do go with a 255/35/20 tire ? I'll be installing the Teins CS on in a couple of weeks and want a nice even drop.

I'm 99.9% sure that I will go with the 245/35/20 for the front ( Pirelli PZero Nero M&S ).

Do you offer these tires and if so how much ? You can PM me if you prefer.

Thanks for your time.

I need to get tires soon before installing the Teins CS in a week or 2.

Thanks again

So would you go with a 255/35/20 or 245/35/20 all around.

I was thinking on going with the Pirelli P Zero Nero M + S. Any comments or suggestions ?
