Default tire size help
i just bought 20" makaveli rims 8.5 in the front 10'' wide in the rear ... right now it has 275s in the rear and its kind of a stretched look, can i go up to a 295 35? cuz it has a 30 profile right now and i feel its to low.

go with 35-40 setup. And check and see if your tire is made in 285's.

on my CCW's if I go wider i'm gonna rub and ruin my tires. And I didnt even get an alignment after lowering it. But the treadwear looks fine
