Default what tire size for a 20x10.5 rear on a 99 c5

Well I finally bit the bullet and a bought a 19/20 combo. I'm going with 275/35 ZR/19 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta Tires up front and looking for rears. Tirerack suggested 285/30/20s but that seems a little small. what is the widest i can go in the back with 20x10.5s? thanks, adam

Well, I was just in the same situation with my wheels. I went with 285/30/20's out back on a 10 inch wheel. After installing them I wish I would have went with a 295 or 305 instead. On yours I wouldn't go any smaller than a 295/30...IMO

i went with 19x10 and 20x11's with 275-30-19's and 305-25-20's.

i have no rubbing issues at all. i was concerned about the tire rubbing on the inner brake duct, but they fit like they were made for it.

it depends on the offsets of the rear wheels but i knew that CCW had that all figured out.

good luck with your setup.
