Largest profile for 20"

9" in the front and 11" in the rear. Im poking on 245 30 295 25 which i dont really prefer. Id rather have a very square beefy sidewall and a much larger sidewall than im running now.

What the largest sidewall I can go with?

Holy shit! It looks like your wheels are sitting directly on the ground!! I don't even see any tire there!

Sorry, I'm not a tire guy so I can't help out. Just had to comment on the rubber bands you have around your wheels!!

It looks like you need to go up a size series-wise. I'm running 255/35/20's on 9" front wheels and 295/30/20's on 10.5" rear wheels with no clearance issues on an ACS drop.

Look at Toyo T!R

I have 255/35/20 on the fronts and 305/30/20 out back on my yellow car
and it is just perfect in my eyes.
Here are some pix so you be the judge

You got the wrong profile, normal profile is 35 in the front and 30 in the rear.

Looks like crap. Whoever spec'd the tire sizes messed up.

you can save the front 245/35/20 but you have to switch the rear to 285/30/20, this is the closest diameter to oem size.

or you can go 255/35/20 with 295/30/20 on the rear. a little more beefy but closer to your target spec.

cheers!

It should. Ive seen 295 on 10.5, so the stretch of a 305 on an 11 shouldnt be an issue.

285/30 on 11" should give a little stretch.
