Ok guys,

I've decided on Miro 111 in matte black. 20x8.5 -18offset and 20x9.5 -18offset. This is the first step in murdering out my Black Sapphire. I'm having trouble deciding on tire sizes. I have factory sport suspension and I don't plan on a drop. For the fronts, I plan on going 245/35/20. I don't know about the rears. Would 285/30/20 creating rubbing or should I go with 275/30/20?

What are some tested tire sizes on 20" wheels with factory sport suspensions that uses 18 offsets?

Das righ ese!

I think I am going to stick with 275/30/20.

Now to tires. Since I live in Texas, there's no use for winter tires so summer tire is all I've ever used. I mainly commute and never track the car so comfort/quietness is number one priority then tread wear and traction. I've had great tread wear with Yokohama Advan Sport and it lasted 57k miles. The grip wasn't all that great as compared to the Goodyear F1 G3's I had before. I would like to hit somewhere in between, 35k with excellent grip and it must be quiet! Again, summer tires is all that's needed. Any suggestions?

I loved my Continental ContiSportContact 3 on my 19" Works. Ran them stretched too.

Your first post confuses me though. You use "-18" offset first, then "18" offset at the end of your post.

Are you running positive or negative 18? I'm doing some wheel research right now and this would help.

I believe Miro's only comes in 18 offset for the 20".
