Having trouble deciding on what tire to run on a set i just purchased of zl1 rims which are.
20x9 offset 27
20x10 offset 35
i see a lot of guys useing there factory tires on them i would like to have the same stance.would there be tire stretch,bulge useing the same tires etc.

would this set up work great with this offset
245/45r20,275/40r20

or would these work better
275/40r20 295/40r20

would be great if i could have your opinons on any other set up,car will be stock and will not be lowering.
thanks

My thought is the 275 and 295 on those sizes. Just my 2 cents.

I recently bought zl1 replica wheels. My tires are 305/35/20 rear, 285/35/20 front. Same size as the zl1. Mine isn't lowered and I love the look of it.

I was nervous about going that wide. Spoke with another member on here and convinced me I wouldn't be disappointed. ( thanks again DWH)!

I put the stock 245/275s Pirellis on the same wheels in the same sizes and offsets with no issues. Drove it for months like that. When I needed to replace the stock tires I went with 275/40 front and 315/35 on the rear. I'm lowered and inch. Again, no issues. My sig picture was with the stock Pirellis. I can post pictures of how it looks with the stock tires and with the 275/315 tires if you'd like.

These are the stock Pirellis on the 9s and 10s..

Here are a few with the 275/315 tire set up..

I have the same:
20x9 offset 27
20x10 offset 35
with stock size 245/45r20,275/40r20 tires now and the fronts are stretched but no problems.
I plan on going with
275/40r20 fronts
and 295/40r20 or 305/35r20 in the rear for my next set.
Lowered 1" also.

ZL1 replicas in Black Chrome and went with 275 PZero / 315 Invo since they run more narrow than other brands no problem on a 10" wheel.
