Default What size tires on 20" rims for my new GS?

I ordered some staggered SSR rims for my new GS. They are 20x9 and 20x10. I need to order some tires and not sure on what size to get. I'm thinking of getting some falken tires since they are reasonably priced. I'm not sure on the offset of the wheels but they are supposed to fit the new GS models. Thanks everybody

You Probably Would Want To Go With 245/30/20 Front & 285/25/20 Rear... That Way You Wont Get Any Rubbing Issues If You Lower It.. If You Don't Lower It Then You Might Want To Get A Little Bigger Profile... Just My .02 Cents....

if you have a 06 gs go with 22's
i have 20's on my 2gen gs. lowered 1.5 in front and 2 in the rear. front rims are 8.5 and back ones are 10.5 and have falken AZENIS 245/35 and 255/35 the back are stretched a lot more than the front, but it keeps it from rubbing. i plan on going with 275/30 when i cut the rear fenders. hope this helps

22s? you gotta be kidding me

i would go with 245 and 285, or 235 and 275 if you want to go a bit consersative. whether you choose 35/30 profile or 30/25 is up to you. 35/30 you might have a bit rubbing

Brandon,

How come you are going with different diameter setups?

I am running:

f: 245/35/20
r: 275/30/20

Nittos with NO RUBBING and no fender modifications required...

My wheels are 20X9 and 20X10 (offsets 37 & 38 respectively)

Good Luck..

Theo

Wouldn't this offset need some body modification? Otherwise, I would believe there would be some major rubbing unless the car is not lowered at all. I believe 35-40 offset is about where it should be, right? Also, why would you use a 30 ratio in the front??? I think you want the ratio of the sidewalls to be pretty comparable, right?
