I had originally asked a vendor on his suggestion of what tire sizes would give me a nice meaty look both in the rear and up front (stock suspension). His suggestion was 305/30/20 and 265/35/20. The rears fit perfect however i rub up front at certain points when the wheels are turned and going up my slanted driveway.

I wanted to know if anyone has had this setup and could tell me if I were to get aftermarket suspension would adjusting camber fix the rubbing issue ?

I'm no expert on this but I would say a 35 on a 20" upfront is too tall. Just a wild guess on my end.

No, camber won't fix the issue.

I said it before already couple times, a 265/35 won't work without fixing the inner liner.

The biggest 35 tire is a 245/35 you can run without issues, even a 255/35 needs some work to make it happen.

thanks for the input. I'm going to swap for 265/30/20. I think I read a lot of members have been able to go with this setup without issues.

265/30 is a stock tire size, so yes but not ideal for your rear tires.

dont stock wheels only come in 18 or 19 inch? I would think 265/30/20 is larger than 265/30/19?

Stock is 265/30 & 285/30 in 20" as mentioned above, a lot of people run 265/30 & 295/30 in 20".

265/30 & 305/30 is a bigger difference front / rear. I think it should work but might look off a bit. Ideally front / rear combo would be a 255/35 & 305/30 as you can see on my white F82.

I might actually consider 255/35 then since I also have 305/30 for my rear tires as well. thanks!

Please be aware there can be tolerance's within two identical cars. Some people having clearance issues just by adding spacers with stock 20" tires.

I would go with 255/35 and work with a heat gun just in case you still have rubbing issues.

It's hard to find a good fit for the front when you run a 305/30 in the rear.
