My rim has a 42 offset so I'm going 295 and it should close to flush with the fender. My 275s have good to me but i can tell the backend needs more tire. I just dont want to introduce too much oversteer.

Absolutely.....but only with wheels with around +50 offsets such as forgestars. An offset in the 40s will only allow 305 depending on the wheel design

And dont make the mistake that I made with going with a 8.5 rim. Be sure to get 9 or 9.5 front rim so u can fit a 265 or 275 upfront to balance out the wide rear tire. An 8.5 will limit u to a 255/35/20 which has a small side wall and will be over inch shorter than a 295 to 315. Not good for the car's balance and stance

I thought he had 315. Whoops.

I had 275 falken on 8.5" wheels and it looked fine, even better than on my current 10". It is definitely not wide enough for my 10". I might go 295 or 305 when these are gone...

It would be a 20x9 30 offset front with 20x10 40 offset rear.

And you didn't have any issues? There's not a single tire manufacturer that recommends over a 265 on a 8.5 wheel. Are those 275 fronts on a 8.5 wheel in your signature pic?

265/35-20 Nitto NT555ZRs up front

I still drool over your car. LOL

Thanks man! I still dig it too.

I really liked the set up that I think was on Beau's car, I think he had 315s in the back. Does anyone know the wheels he has? I think they were steedas but I dont think they have them on their website. After seeing them, it made me reconsider mine.

Very nice setup! Is your speedo accurate?

Close enough. I've had PMs and all kinds of people telling me to buy a tuner so I can "get the speedometer accurate." My tires are 4% taller than stock, so when my speedometer reads 70, my actual road speed should be 73. That is assuming the stock speedo was 100% accurate to begin with, and they are built with a 5% tolerance. Every time I pass one of those speed displays in a construction zone I've been within 2mph of the reading, same as stock.

The front are 255 and the rear 275.
The 275 looked perfect on the 8.5 I had before.
Don't know if you can see it in the pictures...
