Great so, since you're much more knowledgeable on the subject than I... Do you recommend going staggered or doing the squared all around? Also, any recommendations on tire brand for those sizes? Thank you so much for your help.

Square is easier for an AWD since you don't have to worry about diameter variance and you can do full 4 wheel rotations to extend your tire life.
As far as tires, if you keep your OEM wheels for a winter set then you can get much better summer tires for the rest of the year. Good summer tires will really let you get much more out of your car, they perform much better in wet & dry, and only real downside is below 40 degrees and they will wear faster.
Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the gold standard but are costly. A very good alternative IMO is the Toyo T1Sports, they will wear a bit faster than the Pilots but cost about 30 to 40 percent less.

Help please

Hello everyone
Apologize if it has been answered before.
I have an awd q60 coupe dropped on bc coilovers.
I recently ordered a set of wheels
Size:20x9+20 all around
My questions are....
What tire size should I go with?
Is this setup too aggressive?
What extra work do I need to do and extra parts if any do I need to purchase to make it work?
Appreciate the help

Thanks

It's aggressive but 245/35/20 tires will tuck w/ a bit more camber. It would be a much easier fit w/ offset of +30 though.

I run 10 +45 w/ 295s and I'm about -1.1 camber, you should be able to get 285s inside the fender at the same camber w/ a +40.

Thanks, looking at your car pics I might have a chance at fitting 295 with a -2 camber. hmmm


Edit: WOW the prices jump up by $100 per tire. Very few companies make a 295/35/19.

I know, the price premium for running 19s let alone WIDE 19s makes me feel better about going w/ 20s, lol
BTW, those Weds are sweet wheels, look forward to seeing the finished product

That's a pretty aggressive setup, at stock height and in-spec camber you're going to poke. You'll have to run stretched tires to tuck into the fenders on those widths & offsets.
I think you'll get a better reply on this thread, I'd post the same question over there.

I have a sport coupe and I am looking at a set of STR 607 in 20x10.5 squared. They offer a +35 and a +20. I plan on running a 255/30 on them. Which offset will give me a flush fitment with the least amount of trouble? Will the +35 clear the sport brakes in the front?

Here's the only thread I could find on these, not sure what sizes the OP ended up with either Might send Johnnyblazes a PM for specifics

Those clear his front Sport brakes so a 10.5 surely should. I'd scratch the +20 off the list, the +35 will be an easier fit, but still might have issues depending on tires selected and what drop/camber you plan to run.

I read through that whole thread. It appears he is running a staggered setup though. Does anybody know if a +35 wheel will clear the front sport calipers?
