I am dropped and I am running 245/35/20 and 285/30/20. Fenders NEEDED to be rolled and I also changed to stiffer struts. Or else u'll rub like a MOFO. What kind of wheels?

Nice! Your specs are pretty much exactly the same as what I ordered except mine are +16 front and +19 rear. I'm putting on 245/35/20 and 255/35/20 for now but my rear fenders are rolled and flared.

I agree with acuteperformance, go with 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. Or if you don't need tire protection you could do 245/30/20 and 285/25/20.

Wow! Perfect offsets for 8.5" and 10" widths.

2 options for tires:
  • 245/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20 rears
  • 245/35/20 or 275/30/20 rears
IMHO, go with the 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 tires. They look better, plus your car won't ride like a 4x4. It's a 0.5" difference in height between those 2 tire sizes.

Also what's a good site to find tires for these? And what brand tire should be used?
