what brand of 20" tires
Got a set of 20x8.5 and 20x10 rims. Trying to find a set of tires that match. Wanted to go 255/40/20 front and 295/40/20 rears, lots of threads Everybody's doing it. Problem I'm having is finding a matching set. Checked Toyo proxies but no 255's anymore, tried Yokohama but nope no match. I did find a matching set of Nitto's but they are 245/45/20 front. What's everyone running as far as matching set.

Re: what brand of 20" tires
same size wheels as you. I was conservative in the back; could have gone 295. but i'm happy as both of these tires end up being the same height which is what i wanted.
245/45ZR-20 BFGOODRICH G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S XL 275/40ZR-20 BFGOODRICH G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S XL paid like $675 with the rebate... which i'm still waiting for. |

I assume both of you guys are running a 5.5" bs on the rear and 4.75" up front? |

Re: what brand of 20" tires
.
Using Tirerack.com to find matching sets I found that it is the rear size that is limiting the result set. When I place 295 as the rear size, I get only one brand offering 255/40/20 front and 295/40/20 rear. Whereas if I put in 275 as the rear size I get a much larger list of available brands in those sizes ( 255 front 275 rear ): https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...earDiameter=20 Hth, -klb

I should say with the backspace of the wheel and the overall width of the wheel I'm abut an inch from inner bed, so section width of tire is going to be right there.

Re: what brand of 20" tires
Ok these are the Nitto 555, 245/45/20 on a 8.5 rim with 4.5"bs on the front. No problems. The back I don't have the 5 lug axles yet so can't put them on but have the overall measurement so you know just how much you'll need.
Backs are 20x10, 5.5"bs 295/40/20 Nitto 555. 11 3/4" wide on the rim and 5 3/4" from hub to inside of tire.

Are you sure you're not 4.75" bs up front though? I didn't see a 4.5 inch backspace listed. Also do you have any idea what your flange to flange rear end measurement is? |

it looks normal unless you are looking for it at the extreme angle. will try to go 295 in the back next time though but like OP hard to get a staggered set of good tires in certain sizes. |

Re: what brand of 20" tires
thanks, its a good 20 footer though lol.
ECE 4/6 i believe i have the narrower rear end. i will measure when i get home. i am not using spacers and have about 1/2 inch between tire and inner wheel well. could have easily gone 295 with a 1/4 spacer. heads up if you change axles from 6 to 5 lug like i did; make sure the lug nuts are long enough for a spacer. my replacement axles had much shorter lug nuts. |

Re: what brand of 20" tires
Just an FYI I have the narrower rear end, so I’m probably going to rub inner bed wheel wel. A 4.5 or 5” bs would be better

Re: what brand of 20" tires
I’m probably going to run 1/4” spacer even though I think that’s kinda hokey. You could go 8” wide with the 4 3/4 bs, but won’t get as wide of rear tire
