Most people are running 275 in the rear of a staggered setup.. some running 285. But tire rack is recommending 295 for 20" wheels... anyone running 295's and are there any issues with scraping when the car is loaded down?
thanks!
thanks!

I am running 295 in the rear on my R10's and it is causing rubbing problems. However, I have read on this forums of other members who are running 295 in the rear w/ out issues due to OEM wheels.

Most people are using 275/30/19 on 19" or 295/25/20 on 20"!

Schnitzer also recommends 295 for their type IV racing.
It also depends on the wheel size, but 245/30 front and 285/25/20 rears is a perfectly valid combination.
If the rears are 10", I would go 285, if they are 9,5" I wouldn't go wider than 285 in any case.
If your wheels are the correct offset, you will also have no rubbing issues.
