I currently have 295 35 R20 on 20x10 Razors. As you can see they are a bit too big. What sizes do you recommend?

295/35/20? Yea, that is pretty freagin tall!



But 295/35/18 on an 18x10" wheel is juuuuust right. :omfg:

The middle number is the profile height expressed as a percentage of width. So the 295/35-20 has a profile that is 35% of 295. If the tire is too tall but you wish to keep the same width, go to a 295/30-20.

Exactly. I used to sell tires. The thing is there's not alot of options for 295 30. Would 285 30 be too small?

I have 295-35's on a 10" wheel and think they look fine.

Alot has to do with brand also because not every tire is the same even though the numbers say so. What tires are you running? I'm running Invos in the back. It may just be the way the tire is designed.

295/30/20 is coming up as 27 tall vs what you have now which is 28 tall. Continental and Michelins in that size are about $360 each.

Are you getting big time tire rub? IMHO, I think your current tires fill the wheel gap nicely. I like 'em!
