Hey guys I'm trying to decide on tire size for a new set of rims. Going to be going with AG M580 in 20x8.5 and 20x10.

Tires will be michelin pilot super sports.

I have decided on the front tires at 255/35/20. The rear tires have me stumped.

I cannot choose between the 285/35 and the 295/30. The first option is closer to stock height on my GT PP, I just don't want the tires to have the stretch or pulled in look. And I know the PSS run wider.

Any input would be great!

Nice choice in wheels !

You can run a few options but based on the michelin pss

I would do the 255/35/20 & 285/35/20
Its the perfect fit.

That works u can even go to a 315/35/20 and it fits like a glove, main thing is if the rears in those sizes are in stock

If you do end up going with the 315/35 you are limited to Toyo's since they run a little bit narrower than other brands. Be careful with that tire size with it being close to the rear fender like it is on my S550 . I agree with what the other guys have said, the 285/35 should fit nicely.

Brian agreed but the Toyo 4 Plus and or Nitto Invo both sit slim so either or tire would be good, but since he wants to run the Michelin PSS which sit oversized then a 285/35 is perfect since they sit like a 295 tire pretty much.
