Tire Rack recommends 255/35-20 square setup with 20" wheels. Has anyone tried this setup? How does it work. Is the rear wheel not too wide for a 255mm tire?
I'm using this set up on the OEM 343M front wheels (4 fronts) as I needed 20" wheels to clear the CCB. Works fine. A 5 mm spacer might make the rears more flush but I don't care since it will keep the debris from splashing up on the rear bumper.
