Front Tire sizing question for the crowds who have done 20x9 5” drop or 4” drop specifically up front .
I’ can’t really determine what to assume will work for a tire or what to go with safely. Not buying returning guessing etc it’s to much to deal with $$ mounting dismounting etc …
I’ have these 20” Moto metals m0962 20x9s -24 offset black powder coated that wouldn’t look to bad with a
low-pro 20” tire. They’re technically usually used as an offroad wheel…I ran them on my 6” lift with 33s .
I Can’t seem to really off them easily on market place due to the 5x5 lug pattern no-one needs … so I said F” it I’m gonna use them for now.
I had them on the lift which I sold the lift and have fully acquired all the drop parts and just done the rear flip and C- notch this week on this suburban “finally”.
I do own the cleannnn stock 15” wheels (Nice shape) 235/60s tires but also own these black powder coated 20s . So I know I can run a 20” tire and assume I can run them on the front with a 4”-5” drop. I’ve seen plenty trucks and suburbans dropped and a few online with 20s
In set up for going with 5” or 4”
I have 2” spindles and 3” coils for 5” Total.
I could even just do 4” and just run a 1” lift spacer on top of the spring since I am not returning the springs to DJM for a diff set . (( shipping to costly)) return window closed the whole 9.
What 20” tire would be a good clear choice to clear full steer without any fender rolling .. on 88-98 front end so I can have some what of a nice wheel and utilize these 800$ wheels just sitting here.
I’ve seen 235-45s I’ve heard 245s mentioned
Like said worst case for now I can run my stock wheels 235/60/15 and be fine if need be but I’d like to use a nicer rim seeing as I own them .
I feel like I should be able to still run the full 5” drop I don’t wanna get it all together to just redo the coil setup if the right 20” tire won’t clear .
*20x9
* -24 offset
* 4.5 back space
I also understand with these slammed rear ends im not sure if im gonna fine a 235/245 feeling very good on the road . As the where a 15” and taller tire will make up for a lot of cushion.
The rear tire fitment will be fine regardless at 8” flip/ drop or even at 6-7” I have the lift hangers and 1-2” lift shackle on hand to adjust some if need lift it some !
It is a deep enough wheel well to tuck the offset Im fairly sure .
