Tires Sizes, 20's
Hello All
I have decided to go all 20's on my 70 SWB (static 2/4 drop)... I am thinking about a 285/40/20 for the rear (11.38"W and 28.94" Tall) and 245/45/20 for the front (9.45"W and 28.66" Tall) I Should be able to fit a 295 on the rear but I am having trouble finding a matching 245 in the same tread pattern. Any thoughts???

Re: Tires Sizes, 20's
I run 20" all around.
I had to install a 1/4" spacer on the back so the tires would scrub the inner fender with special lugnuts.
