Re: I ordered my 19/20 inch rims.... (2C5only21)
If you're going to tub it then I would have probably gone with a 12 or 12.5 in the rear and run a 19" 345. The 20's are harder to find tires for.
But, you can get a 305/20 made by Continental.
Michelin has a 335/20 and there may be other options.

Why would you tub the car now?
Anything that fits an 11" rim won't need it.
If you were planning on tubbing all along, why did you get 11" rims?
:confused: :confused: :confused:
The 305/25/20 Conti's are the best fit to an 11" wheel, but last I've heard no one has them and they are on backorder everywhere. The 285/30/20 is the only other alternative I know of.
275/30/19 works perfect for the front no matter what rear tire you end up using.

Sorry, the weather has been too bad but I will try to get one by this coming weekend. The side wall is very thin but doesn't affect much on ride comfort. What view are you looking for?

I am going to tub the car just for the hell of it. I want to try it out and see how it goes. I will eventually get a drag package for the car.
I don't want much of a sidewall. I like the look of that. If you could post some pictures whenever you get them that would be great. Thanks, Kaley

Friend of mine has Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires 345/25R/20 on his supra. So they do make'em that big, but they cost :crazy: :yesnod:
