ICEMAN316, KnIgHtCoM and I are very limited in which brand of tires we can use. The three of us run 285/25/20 tires. So, based on this very limiting factor there are only four brands available from the following websites: Toyo, Falken, Yokohama and Pirelli. ................
Why not run the recommended 255/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rear? Your choices increase to Continental, Michelin, Pirelli, and Yokohama. I would choose hese over the tier two tires you mention.

If I could run 255/30/20 and 295/25/20, I would. 285/25/20 is the largest size tire I can run with my VR02 wheels. I have a very aggressive rear offset that required extensive modifications to my fenders to just accommodate the 285 tires. As for the front, I'm not sure if I can run 255/30/20. I'll be sure to look into this in the future. Thanks.

Can you change the offset to pull tire into the well. If running spacers get smaller size spacers or just get a few mm machined off the rim. Also look into adding positive camber, bad for tire wear but will make them tuck.
