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?

Wow. Can you post pics or even better text me some? What offset wheels are you running? (602) 796-6099.

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.

I already did the math. I'm good on height. Its the wheels im worried about. Correct offset.

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.

Im running 305 35/20s on the fronts which are 20x10s , and 305 50/20s on the rear on 20x11.5

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.

From that picture it looks like the wheels/tires stick out of the wheel wells. post up some side rear pics when you can.

Looks like the rear tires could rub the fender, especially if lowered. Did widening move the sidewall inboard?
