Default 3GS offset/tire question

got 20x9/10 +35 offset fr/rr

will be lowered on DF210's since nobody bought them

what size tires should I go with?

heard I should get 245/30/20 and 275/30/20 for stock size

how much cutting is needed if I got 245/35/20 and 255/35/20?

Since you're going with the DF210's(and not the NF210's) I highly recommend you go with the 245/30 and 275/30. The DF's are awfully low and going with an overspec tire like 245/35 and 255/35 is pushing it. Post pics in the 3GS modification thread when you have the chance!

Thanks. I just sold my DF's so I might just get the coilovers and adjust accordingly.

But from my calculations running the 245/35/20 would be 1" taller over, meaning 1/2" from tire to fenderliner so I'll look into it. Just that going taller seams to allow a better ride if I go with the coilovers versus the 30's.
