Rim and tire sizes???

[Terry Henke]

im looking at getting some fancy rims and tires but im not sure what size would fit my st. i was thinking of a 20" rim with 275/45/20 tires. will this combo fit with no rubbing or changing my speedometer? also, if anyone out there has a white st with black rims can you post a pic so i can see what it looks like. thanks

That's the setup I have, 20" rims with 275/45/20. Your rubbing issues will be determined on the wheel that you choose. A wheel offset of +10 to +20 mm will work best and reduce the chance of rubbing issues. I have no rubbing problems with my new rims. I have a +20 mm offset. Your speedometer will be off slightly. Here's a tire size calculator that can help determine how much the speedometer will be off from your actual speed.

I have 20 x 8.5 TSW wheels with 275/45-18 tires. No rubbing problems and as for the speedo, they tires are about 1/2" shorter than my original 255/70-16's. It will affect the speedo, but no by much. I have a posting with pics a couple of pages back if you want to see them.

Actually the procedure for getting an 18" tire on a 20" rim starts with ......Hah, the typo got me. They're 275/45-20's.

that calc comes in handy! looks like a 275/40-20 is the closest to stock. those tires are gonna look like rubber bands though.
