for the rims in the link at the very top?

 

[rickztahone]

yeah, they are 20" and are 8.5 in width so 245 (width)/35or30(this is height, your preference)/and 20 of course.

when you say height is my preference.. whats going to be the difference in the two?

35 and 30... the 35 will have more rubber between the bottom of the tire(where it touches the road) and the wheel(rim).. usually allowing for a more comfortable ride. some people like the thinner because it looks sportier... but to tell you the truth.. you will have much more luck finding 245/35/20's. For the price.. I suggest the Falken 452's, or the Kumho Ecsta's.

35 - 3.4" sidewall < more comfy.. yet still not as lincoln intended
30 - 2.9" sidewall

 

[NateRW21]

list the factory size first, then your other options. It'll tell you the difference. All it takes is some searching

Google is your friend

 

[AngelEyesAdrift]

thanks guys pretty sure i'll go with the cheapest tires haha...

 

[NateRW21]

there's a great idea... the cheapest tires are always the most durable, reliable, longest lasting and give the best performance...

 

[NateRW21]

I've always hated how guys will throw down the cash for wheels... but put the cheapest rubber they can get on them... that and half-a$$ing brakes... nothing like putting your life on the line with the cheapest junk you can get...
