40 series on 20"
I run 20's with a 35 series Yoko and I have an Eibach Pro kit installed (drop 1.2 inches). So you should have plenty of room. My set-up has never rubbed.

The best tire size for 20" would be 255/35-20 for the front and 285/30-20 for the rear. Assume that you have 20x9 and 20x10.

It could potentially mess up your VDC and/or ABS due to the overall tire diameter being to tall.

hey Nocturnal, if you haven't installed a lowering kit i would like to see those pics. i need to see how much clearance you have to see if i would be able to fit those 40 series.

40 series are really going to be too tall.

If you run 40 on a 20" rim,the speedometer will have inaccurate reading... the wheel will be TOO tall and it may fxxx up the VDC
