245/35/20 will NOT fit in the front. I just found that out today when I was getting my rims/tires on

Do you have the sports package....and also did the tires fit in the rear

ward · 03-14-2006, 09:22 AM

wierd,

it's only 6.225 percent larger in diameter than the stocker (thanks tire size calculator)

I bet it would fit if you raised the car a little bit

WHere did they rub? I'm thinking that it's not the tire's fault as much as offsets on the wheel that could be better.

please give more info including all the specs on the wheel, where the tire rubbed, and what suspension you have.

Weird, other members have fitted that size

I don't have Sports Package. The back side of the front driver's side tire didn't just rub, it was actually hitting the springs when they lowered the car from the jack. The springs were literally laying on top of the tire. The rims are 20x8.5 +35 offset.

When we saw that the first one rubbed, we didn't even bother to put the other ones on, so I don't know if it would rub in the back or not. I'm going to try 245/30/20 first, and if that doesn't work then I'll have to resort to 235/35/20. NO idea why it didn't work, even the guy at Discount Tire was convinced it would
