Default How wide can I go???

Hello

I am looking into getting a set of Iforged wheels 19/20 and want to know what is the widest tire I can go with without tubbing. I would love to get 345's but I don't think they will work.

Plus who has the best deals on Iforged wheels?

This is with a 345/35/18 +74 mm offset and tubbed!

w/o tubbing you may get a 305/315 to not stick out much farther if the rim has the correct offset.

That is part of what I am trying to figure out. 11, 11.5, 12 13????? I have heard I can put a 305 under with it sticking out. One person told me I can fig a 335 but I have not seen any pics.

I have 305 on my 20x11. I did see another member with 20x11.5 without tubing but still 305 tires. I think the next size tires in 20" is 345 and most likely won't fit in the stock fender. Sorry, I didn't answer your question. I'm also interested. From looking at the fender space left with the 20 x 11, I think the max that you can go is another half inch outward.
