those are not the right sizes.. go w/ a 35 profile all around to maintain your stagger. As long as the width is wider in the rear and you maintain a 35 profile all around your TCS light should remain off.... where its suppoised to be.

you'll be fine with those tires size, thats what I have on mine and my rear wheel is 20x10, so a 20x9.5 would have no problem

you wont have any problems with the 275/30/20 but if its a 20x10 in the rear I recommend a 285/30/20 just to protect the lip a little more. I learned the hard way my next set of tire im going put 285's on

for a 20x9 255/35/20 is what is recommend, you can get away with a 245/35/20 but the lip will be a bit exposed to curbs,

245/30-20
275/30-20

Toyo ts1 tires, It makes for good drifting tires No sidewall flex at all.

I would like the overall dimeter to be larger than stock, so that the wheel well will be covered completely. My concern will be if the 285-30-20 will rub against the fender inner lip with some Axis mod 7.

someone told me 275/30/20 in the front and 285/30 for the rear. Is that a good idea? What is the best tire for someone with a low budget? Also im gonnadrop it of course. Should I drop it with eibachs or tanabe? Which would be best before and after i put a body kit? Thanks

Have the rear fenders rolled. Its easy to do ..for a body shop to do.

I wouldnt put a 275/30 on a 20x9 you can do it but I wouldnt, the tire will be buldging out little compared to the rear 285/30 on the 20x10 and it wont look right IMO, if it was a 9.5 I would say ok but I wouldnt go over a 265/30 on a 9" but I dont even think anyone makes that size for 20's

8" - 225
8.5" - 245
9" - 255
9.5" - 275
10" - 285
10.5" - 295
11" - 305

those are the tire widths you should go with, now you can go one size up but anything more than 1 size up the tires will start to buldge out of the sidewall or you can go one size down but anything more than one size down the tire will begin to stretch and expose the lip to curbs and potholes

I had my doubts about putting 275 T1s on 10.5 wide wheels but after hearing from rayden and his 11" wide wheel with 275 and drifting I feel much beter... Im just trying to avoid rolling or cutting my fenders, i'll see how much clearance I have with 275/30 and then I might go with 285/30 for my next set of tires

You might have a different offset than his. If your offset is set back more in the fender, then you'll be fine.
