Default can i go with a staggered setup with this rims or not?

I currently own four 20x8.5 diablo vienna rims. I wanted to how if i could go with staggered setup with these rims. What size tires would be needed in to front and in the rear for this setup with the rims (20x8.5) that i have already have. I would like to do this without any modifications to my front/rear fenders.

If the staggered setup is not possible with the four rims that i have, what tire size would you suggest i use on all four rims. I want to use a tire that will not rub at all.

What type of profile tires should i use, 35 or 30?


225/35/20
235/35/20
245/30/20

Do NOT stagger if you are running all the same wheel widths all around.......245/30/20 will be the best/same as stock diameter.

That will depend on your wheel offsets and if you plan on lowering the car. (which I recommend you do if you plan on 20's) Read romini's wheel fitment writeup on the top of the wheel section to learn more about offsets. You will learn a ton....good luck

with the same size wheel front and back, i always only suggest same size tires. to me there is no point in staggering the tires when the wheels aren't wider in the back. just do the same tire and you can still rotate it front and back at least.

regarding "flush" or not. you can get good offset and it sits flush with the front. but it will never be flush in the back. that's the whole point of doing staggered setup, coz' the rear can take more aggressive setup. '

for tires, i suggest 245/35/20
