I haven't suffered any rim damage at all from the low profile other than 2 of my mates rubbing against gutters while trying to park it Jack ←they've fitted 245/30/20 and I'm thinking that a 35 series tyre would have been better in absorbing any potholes etc from the road . is it worth taking it back and getting the 35's or would it not really make that much difference?mike Edited 01/02/07 07:45 AM by miker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 245/30-20 on the front - 8.5" wide wheel275/35-20 on the rears - 9.5" wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt think 245 fit on the frnt with 20's. Mine are 35 profile front and rear. I have nexen tyres 225 front and I was told the load rating is legal... I suspected not though. what is the minimum. 30 should be ok with a 245. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
