MAX TIRE SIZE FOR 20" AND LOWERED HELP PLEASE

[Murray Kia Philadelphia]

Hello,

I have 20" by 9" and 20" by 10 TSW Neptunes.

I am lowered on M&S springs.

What is the maximum tire size or optimal tire size to run. I currently have 295/25 rear and 255/30 front. I am having major issues at these sizes. I just cracked a rim. I need to get new tires and bigger!

Please help!

Thank you!

No one can assist me with this?

I run 245/35/20 and 285/30/20. Lowered and on the exact same rims as you, with no issue. I think that was the largest tire size confirmed to work, outside of getting coilovers.

Bigger in what way? Taller sidewall? I think you can fit up to a 27" tall tire without hitting the strut. I'll look at the sheet when i get home.

Yes I need a bigger sidewall. I would appreciate it if you get time to tell me how big I can go with the sidewall. Thank you.

biggest overall diameter i have recorded here is 26.8 which Buklau did with 245/35r20 and 285/30r20. Switching to these sizes will net you around 0.4" extra sidewall up front and 0.45" out back. These should fit without issue.

I'm not 100% certain if 27" will fit but 255/35r20 and 295/30r20 will bring you right to that. This would be around a whole inch bigger (1.2" out back) in diameter meaning around 1/2" of extra sidewall.

Link to Buklau's setup Wheel/size/offset and tire/size/profile...can be confusing.

So there are a few people on the Stinger Facebook group that run 255/35/20 and 295/30/20 and lowered without rubbing issues, so I assume it will work. My setup works perfectly without any rubbing or anything negative and I’ve driven 10,000km+ on them so far over subpar Canadian roads and it’s held up great!
