20x9 et25 tire size?

[scottykenneth]

ok so Im researching and asking people but I'll just start a thread. so far I have heard 255/30/20 - 255/35/20 -265/30/20(very limited pickins) or 275/30/20

any help guys- thanks

Depends how much stretch you are looking for. I would run a 255 on a 9" wide wheel, that would be proper. Stock S5 wheels are 8.5" wide on 255's, so you can get an idea there as well.

Here is my 9.5 mated to a 255 tire.

Well hello lol.

[aLTTP]

^^ is it me you're looking for?

on 9, i wouldn't even consider 275, that's reserved for 10. 265 is max.

haha @ Mopsta! :) Just getting some mas input but you helped out

100% true...

275 min is 9.0 according to tire rack

275 with 9" is very conservative. I'd go with 255 or possibly 265.

it will fit but it will look awful. i wouldnt put it on anything but 10+

I'm looking at tires for a 20x9 wheel also. I'm pretty set on taking mops advice and going with 255/35/20 even though they do not match factory spec because the roads in NY are far less than perfect. As of right now it's looking like I'm gonna order Hankook Ventus V12s.

Just to be devil's advocate and I do not pretend to even be remotely close to a wheel/tire expect, but isnt going to a 255/35/20 pushing the limits of what is recommended in terms of rolling diameter? According to the 1010tires website, a 255/35/20 wheel is 3.71% larger in diameter than stock. Your speedo will also read about 3.8% slow. Anyway, just food for thought. Maybe someone with way more knowledge than me can chime in.

^ That would also mess up your ESP.

It does not "hurt" anything. I have upsized tires on many many vehicles. Will affect speedo and esp S5xy says but who cares imo. I ran it for about a year with no issues at all and it looked/rode great. Just sayin...

Your car looks great! Nothing wrong with a square setup. Looked really good on chefs glut car.

dude grow the hell up
I dont like getting into other people's arguments, but what your doing is beyond childish
this is a car forum, not a place to troll others

Seriously?! That has absolutely ZERO to do with this thread nor is it even an accurate statement. Whatever you have out for mop, take it elsewhere or even off the boards, preferably. Get a life.



Back on topic: My opinion, go with 255/30.

thanks wheel whore
yup that orange S5 helped me decide to go with 275

Tirerack has very detailed specs for all tires, including wheel width ranges.

Yea, Michelin and BBS thought it worked fine. Your car dude.
Yea, dude is useless...if he keeps it up I will post a pic of this goofy fuk.
