Default Active Handling questions
If I run equal tire diameter front to rear will I have problems with Active Handling?

I have never had a problem with active handling running tires shorter, the same height or taller

Ive heard both ways. I am either going to mount today or order different tires based on the opinions I get here. Thanks for the input

Most people who say you will have problems are only speculating and haven't actually done it.

I had a similar question. Will 20x8.5F and 20x10R affect anything major? Tire rub, speedo, bottoming out on the fender wheel on bumps...etc.

Tire size is the real key to answering your questions. 20s will fit with the correct offset and tire size

I thought so. Just making sure. Guess I would need 30 or 35 series on the front. Could do 35s all the way around.
