So finally after 6 months I have some new wheels but at the last moment I changed from 18" back to 20" when the wheel I wanted wasn't available anymore. Now this has thrown off my six months of picking a tire size. So I am asking for some opinions to help.
First, new wheels are going to be 20x9.5 with a 0mm offset. I have the front leveled at 2.1 and unfortunately I still have the 3.21 gears as I haven't been bothered to get a new front axle and honestly the 8 speed makes it feel perfectly fine so far.
275/60/20 - Stock size, but why?
285/60/20 - Little taller, little wider, quite a bit heavier.
295/60/20 - Like the 285 but a bit more of everything.
305/55/20 - About the same height as stock but much wider and heavier.
I am not really interested in stock at all. That leave me weighing options between taller and heavier fighting my gears or similar size and heavier thinner looking tires also fighting gears.
Fuel mileage is irrelevant, company fuel card FTW, and power has been partially made up by mods and tuning. Eventually I will be going to 3.92 gears but at the rate I'm going that could be after this set of tires is used up.
Thoughts?
