    anybody running 305-35-20 tires?

    I'm looking to get some new 20" wheels for my marauder. 8.5" front with a 255-35-20 and 10" rear with the 305-35-20. Anyone running this combo?

    Will do. Just hard to spend the money being unsure if they will fit. I'm trying for the fr500 wheels in machined with black windows.

    I'm sure they will fit, I used a couple calculators like this one, To make sure the overall diameter is near stock.
    http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-calculator/

    It says 305/35/20 is .07% shorter than stock. or .2"... close enough in my book.

    The fronts you will have to play around with as I think there may be a better size to closer match stock size.

    It depends on the width also a +35mm 20x10 will stick out 2" past the wheel well.

    Been there tried that! here is a pic of a +35mm offset wheel it stuck out 2" past the fender lip, Needless to say I sent it back for +40mm offset wheels.

    Yeah good call. Most staggered setups come in 8.5" for fronts though. I think 10" front rim is too much.

    3055020, I would like to see how it looks. That tire is extremely tall at 32 inches.

    I just got the rear wheels widened to 11.5" so its around 30" and the sidewall is flat , which is exactly what I was looking to do , this pic is before the rears were widened.
