Help choosing front tire width(255 vs 275)

[Dinokill3.7]

My wheel are Velgen Classic5 20x9 inch front and 20x10.5 rear.

I have 295x35x20 tires in the rear and 255x40x20 fronts which I’m going to replace today.

My question is if I should get 255x35x20 or 275x35x20.

255s look to much tucked in for my taste and I wonder if 275 up front will look better without compromising anything(except my wallet lol).

I have BMR springs which lowered the car about an inch up front.

More tire is always better for a heavy car. 275 is just fine on a 9" wheel. Although this won't really help much with the tucked look, you'll need some spacers to fix that.

This (or a different offset rim), but the extra rubber will help in cornering

A 285mm wide tire would sit flush without rubbing on a 10" +33 wheel. I wouldn't go wider than 275 on a 9" wheel and I'm not sure what your offset is. However, the pp1 wheels are 9" wide with 255's on the front and using a 1" spacer gets the wheel sitting flush with the fender. I'd say your best bet is saving your money on the tires and getting steeda 1" spacers.

Hey there! I'd have to agree with the first reply, you'll fit 275's no problem, but you're gonna wanna grab some spacers if you're wanting a more flush look. Let me know if we can help here at Lethal Performance! Be more than happy to help.

I'd stick with 255s and just go spacers only to bring the wheel flush personally. You not providing offsets means no one can give you an accurate recommendation, however.
