Hi I was just wondering what tire you guys think looks the best of on a 20 x 9 rim? Im open to the idea of the size 255 (45 or 50) 20 ,, or a 275 45 20. Im putting 4 20 x 9's and want a good looking tire for the srt wheels.
Those are pretty cool looking escape. Im going to look into the nitto 420's a little more. I think those were on Tiger woods escalade when he crashed.lol Any other ideas. How do the Vreds look?
well i had falken ziex stz04 in 275 45 20 on the reps. They were a good tire, but really they are on the bottom of the tire price range and I want to try a tire that is a little more stock srt8 looking. Those tires also threw up tons of rocks while driving, probably because of the deep tire grooves. But my main reason is because I want a tire that is more stock srt8 looking but I dont want the runflats because of the price of them.
Yea I saw you went with 255 50 20 rob. Did you want a little more sidewall instead of the 255 45 20? How do they look on all 4 corners compared to a 275 45 20?
Also it seems alot of srt guys on here are going to a bigger tire on the front and back of their srt's, is there a reason for this or is it just because its easier to find tires in bigger sizes?
The 275/315 combo is actually smaller in overall diameter at 28.62" vs a 29" Stock SRT Goodyear, but they are wider and should give me quite a bit more traction and faster times.
Well Im going to look into some 255 45 20 tires. I think the 275 45 20's look good on a wj but a little wide/big. The stock wheels on a wj are slightly smaller than the wk too. The wj has a 235 65 17 and the wk has 245 65 17 for stock. This makes the 255 45 20 only .04% difference in diameter than stock on a wj.
Scott, I think what you said about doing 255 45 20 only if you plan on lowering the jeep applies to the wk but Im not sure a wj since there is a difference in stock tire size. The 255 45 20 is like exactly the same diameter as the stock on a wj but on a wk its a 1/2 inch smaller diameter than stock hence you should lower your jeep.
robpp do you have a picture of your 255/50 on your viper replicas? are they 20s or 22s, i really like the look of the vipers, but i dont want rubber band like tires, so i was curious how a different size tire would fit/fill up the wheel well?
these are 255/50-20. if you use the calculator and compare to 245/65-17 that my jeep came with. thesde are about a 1/2 inch taller. equals about 1 MPH slow.
