245/40/20 Tire spec

[eclipes]

Has anyone tried 245/40/20 tires to give a bit more comfort on their 20s? I know the difference and speedometer is around 3.9% more but the popular 255/35/20 seems a bit rough and delicate on crappy roads

40/20 in the rear or the front?
I am not sure if that would work.
I thought the safe bet for 20s (if they are not deep dish or have a big lip) would be 245/25/20 (Front) & 275/30/20 (Rear)
I THINK.
I am getting my wheels this week and will have to play it by ear.

You will have a huge wheel gap, guaranteed.

WELP looks like the previous owner for my wheels i got today has some Falken 245/40/20s up front and 275/35/20 for the rear. They came off a 2013 Genny Sedan...
HMMMMMMMM

I ran 245/40/20 all around (9/10.5). Unfortunately, there is no stretch on the front 9", so could not go very low. Rode well, except Falken are shit tires in the rain. Switched wheels - I'm hoping to go up to a 40/35 profile mix with my next set of tires (10/11" wheels). I like the meatier look. If you look at my album with the 5 star wheels, that is the 245 setup. I would recommend it, if you can get your suspension dialed in.

DUDE the wheels I got have Falken tires on them. Those 20s are SHOT. The guy I got them from said just the rears need replacing. Uhhh how about all of them. My 18s factory I bought the Z rated Falkens. MAN, im 30k in and they are about done. I dont think I will buy that brand anymore. LOL

Keep us posted on your results. I am curious if I need to change my wheels.

I won't be changing tires until after the fall Dragon run. I'll post up at that point, if I can remember. lol

It works. I have them on my V6 2013 sedan. No issues at all. Gas milage goes down and it becomes slightly slower.
