Id recommend 245/35/20 and 275/30/20, thicker sidewalls for more rim protection but may have chance of rubbing.

usually recommended: 245/30/20 and 275/25/20

Here is what I use on my customers cars from most popular to least popular.


245-35-20 and 275-30-20 - Thicker sidewalls and taller than stock. Fills in the fender gap a little nicer.

245-30-20 and 285-25-20 - Wide rear and I think same overall diameter as stock. I could be wrong.

Unless the car is a salvaged title car with a ton of body damage, and if the wheels are the right offset, I dont think it will rub.
