Default Those of you with 20" rims

What tire size are guys running? I am looking for a tires that have some meat on them. I dont think I will be able to get that with 22" rims. Thanks

Not sure what tires with "meat on them" look like but I'm running 265 35 20s on the stock S8 rims.

Default Standard for 20" w/ sport OEM rims is 275/35-20

Those rims in turn are 20 x 9, ET 46. Can't run too much more than that, though you can space the wheels outward some. 275/35 is also the widest tire rated by most manufacturers for a 9" rim. One former poster (CovertW12, i.e. Erich) ran 285/30's as I recall, but did it w 9 1/2" high end aftermarket wheels; spacing was tight and offset critical from what he reported.

I was thinking of getting 20x10 rims all the way around. What effect will that have? I am hoping to be able to run 265x35 or should I just stick with 20x8.5 rim with that size tire? I am ordering everything online so I want to get it right before I make the order.
