CatchM3 · 10-19-2008, 06:24 PM

Hey folks. Can anybody help me choosing the correct tires for my new rims?

Rims:

20"x9" SPORTLINE MESH 8 Front
20"x11.5" SPORTLINE MESH 8 Rear

Thanks folks for your advice. Much appreciated.

Hi, I have the same problem trying to find tyres, except here in Australia we have to keep the same or higher Max Weight Loading of the tyre. fronts 93 and rears 98.

The problem is the 20" tyres have a less weight loading than the oem 19"

you have a few choices... im going with 285/30/20's on my 360's

you can also do 315/25's or 295/25 if you want the low pro stretched look

can some please elaborate on the pros and cons of various tire selection sizes.
I really want to make a wise selection in tires sizes.

I appreciate it.

depends on look mainly... if you want the best ride possiable i think 285/30 is the biggest size your going to fit without probs... if you like that low pro look and dont mind a harsher ride then get the 315/25's or 295/25

Better off saying what it does not have and that's a B&O Audio System, otherwise all option boxes are ticked.
