^i think if he wants a square setup 275/30 would be good. 255 will be too stretched IMO

Hey guys,

Awesome discussion going on here. So many beautiful cars. This thread has been the source of so much inspiration for my own car. I am about to buy my first set of rims and tires for the G and I could use some advice. Help me get the right setup so I can join the club!

My post is here:

Keep in mind the front fender doesn't have the flat roll that the rear does so there's more area for contact up there. It's going to be a tough fit I think.
I'm running a 20x9.0 up front with +38 offset and a 5mm spacer. and I could probably go a few more mm so you should be golden with a +30 offset up front. Just make sure you have a couple degrees of camber, as I'm running -2.0

275s are borderline for the FAT club, but since your G looks so kick as$ you get my vote

I finally got my front tire situation handled on my new wheels, no more crazy VDC. Almost dialed in on the height and need some centercaps now..

I had to stretch a little to make things work, but does THICK = FAT?
