Hey guys
I was wondering why most people here go with 245/35/20 and 275/30/20? I know these are the factory 19" sizes but they are slighlty off in terms of 20" sizes. I believe that 285/30/20 is the correct match with 245/35/20. so I was wondering if there is a reason why most people go with 275/30/30 and not 285/30/20?
Is it because there is a rubbing issue with 285's in the rear? I originally started thinking about this because I wanted to buy some general UHP tires but they don't make a 275/30/20 but they make a 285/30/20.
