Question for those with +10" wide rear tires
Looking to get Falken rims and go with a 10" or bigger rear tire, not sure what sizes I can put on a 20x10 rim yet though. Question is, how badly does going to a wider rear tire affect the MPG of the car? I get around 25 mpg now so roughly what would I be looking at with a 10-10.5" rear wheel?

I have 11" wide wheels and tires and really haven't noticed any drop in mileage. I average about 27 on the interstate.

I'm not totally useless..
|
On 11" rears I notice no diff in MPG. To answer your ? on max tire size for a 10" wheel, it is a 305 for a proper fit...

Probably just depends on the weight with rear tires... if your new wheels are lighter that the OEMs, you might even see a slight increase in MPGs.

I have 20x11 Forgeline rims with 315 Nitto NT-05's on the back. They fit fine. Forgeline said to go with 20x 9.5's up front, so I listened (I originally ordered 20x10's for the front), and 275 Nitto NT05's.
