Pics of 30 series rear and 35 series front tires on 20s?
Anyone have pics of a XXX/30/20 rear and XXX/35/20 front tires on 20 inch wheels. I want to see some more pics of how this setup looks.
Thanks!

Considering these:
Bridgestone Potenza S001 - 265/35ZR20 & 305/30R20 Anyone had any experience with these tires? EDIT: Apparently this is not a popular set up. I think I may just go with my original plan of Michelin Pilot Super Sport - 275/35/20 & 295/35/20. I think if I do too small of a sidewall my car may sit too low and will throw off some of the systems in the car.

I've searched all over this forum and a few others and can't find any pics of the 275/35-295/35 setup. I want to run this setup as well but with Invos, so please post pics if you find any or when you get your wheels on. The factory sidewall and overall tire diameter are just too much from the factory. I wish someone would make a more affordable 315/30/20. I don't really want to fork over $500 each for the Toyos R888s.

You guys are going about this all wrong. When choosing different size tires and you want to see what your cars profile looks like you don't just search your tire size, you also search for other tire sizes that give about the same diameter.
The 265/35ZR20 & 305/30R20 tires are 27.3" front and 27.2" rear. This car has 295/30 all the way around which are 27.0" tall. If you do find a picture of a Camaro with 27.3"/27.2" tall tires It will look IDENTICAL to this one. YOu can't tell a .3" just by looking at a picture. Hell, you probably can't even see the difference if you put the tires side by side, you would have to measure them.

I found a good deal on the Michelin Pilot Super Sport in 275/35/20 & 295/35/20 so I think I may go with those. They have the highest rating on Tire Rack over any other tires.

Taylor, you don't have to worry about that, I'm still lower than you'll be, tire diameter on my 19's is 26.65", so based on what Sux said above regarding the tires you want to run, you'll be a little higher on the 305-30's, probably 1/2".

I also have a new bumper coming with an attached splitter. I am scared of destroying it on driveways! I scrape sometimes already.

Hmm, the NT-05's are about $600 less for a set, but I am finding they are going away pretty quick on road course and autocross as my current set will most likely be toast after this next event, which is only 4 full days of abuse on a road course/autocross...in your experience do the Michelin's live longer?
