I purchased some HRE wheels today with the above mentioned size. The wheels came with 245-35-20 and 285-30-20 but the front tires rubbed slightly at full turn on the fender liner. Looking to downsize the front and rear tires. Any suggestions? Or will i have problems regardless of tire size due to the widths?



****Correction the wheels are 20x9 front and 20x11 rear****

It's your lining that's causing the problem. Changing the width won't do anything. What some people do is bend the inner fender lining a bit and you won't have any problems.

the tire size is perfect, but it looks like your offset is too agressive... are they straight bolton or are you running some spacers between them?

You can probably trim or bend the area that's rubbing. I have a similar size wheels but lower profile tires and also have very slight rubbing at full turn while turning into a driveway, etc. I doubt smaller tires would fix it.

Yea I just picked them up on Saturday. So does anyone have experience with this wheel size and offset? It is on factory suspension and I do not want to roll the fenders.

Are these rubbing in the rears? Close to rubbing as I am planning on going to 295s on the rear but I have 21's with the same offset?
