Hmmm, that is a good question.
I would say no, since the bead is not part of the sidewall. One thing to remember, hardly any of the tires are exact on the formula. A 60 series is not always exactly 60% of the tread width. If you look at 2 tires that are measured as the same size by there manufacturers sizeing...they will not always match up. |

well I don't know about other tire manufactures but the ones I build for Michelin are all the same size. each (product) or rubber that is used has to be within 2 mm. The side wall should not include the bead area from what I understand.

I plan on running 20x8.5 with 275/45/20 on all four corners. I am not for sure what it would look like. I might go with 20x10 in back. Anybody have pics of any 20x8.5 from behind?
