Tire Size if Using 20" Wheels

[Chris Kulbaba]

What size tires do I need to use on 20" Rims (2001 ST 2WD)?

I'm running 275/45/20 Goodyear GTs on my 20" rims with no rubbing issues.

I am installing an X-Spec Lowering kit... will those tires still work?

 

[Tim Turner]

The X-Spec lowering kit from EE comes with 3" lowering blocks, just to answer your other post on that topic. The tires should work without any issues, but it mainly depends on the backspacing of your wheels that your going to get. What rims are you looking at getting?
