I have 255-35/275-35 on the same size rims. I'd like to go with a 275/305 set up next time around.

no pics right now, but they fit really good, and it handles really good. Normally id be worried about the DR's and cornering, but in a 35 series, and in 20" there isnt much side wall to flex.

Do your tires rub at all when turning or having passengers in your car? My 275/35/20 Nitto 555 on 20x10" are pretty bald. Time to get a different tire, would like to go a little bigger but im lowered 1.5" .

J, I wouldn't worry about what size to get, but rather what size NOT to get, and that would be anything narrower than about a 295/35 or so. I have a 10 inch wide rear, with a 275, and it ALMOST looks stretched. So for a 10.5 I would FOR SURE not go narrower than a 295.

I would say a 295 or a 305 would be plenty of meat for you.
