20 in wheel tire size others are using?

I am planning on getting a set of 20in wheels planning on getting
20x8.5 in front and 20x11 in rear.

What tire size and profile other member with 20in wheels are using?

I am debating to go with 235/30/20 and 295/25/20. But a bit worry about being TOO low profile. Any members running that tire profile? If so how is the ride?

Tks in advance

I would go with 245/30R20 front and 275/30R20 rear. It will keep you in the same stagger as stock in height. You can also go with 235/30R20 and 265/30R20. If I can help let me know.

Jim probably didn't notice the 11" wide part. If he had, I think he'd have some other advice.

I have a 285/30/20" tire on my Porsche 11" rear wheels. The fit is perfect. The tire is a slight stretch but for such an aggressive application the stretch will be your friend. I have the same size tire on the front which is a 10" wheel.

I know customers running a 275 on 11" rears also. Keep in mind that all tires are not created equal. We find that a Dunlop SportMaxx is wider then say a Toyo. We typically order one size smaller on a Dunlop opposed to some other brands. It all depends on that you are trying to accomplish and how much room you have to work with.

see pics here of my set up
