Wider 20” tire?

AllBlackBimmer · 07-03-2022, 07:01 PM

Has anyone put on wider rubber on the stock 20” wheels? What size did you go to?
My stock 699m are 8.5F, 9.5R
245/275

Looking to go to maybe 265 f, and 295 or 305 in the rear … been trying to search and find pictures.
Looking for others that have done this and what tire sizes work best or are recommended

305 in the back looks really nice and mean. But you cant put that on a 9.5" wide wheel.

I haven't seen anyone go bigger in tire size on the 699m, most likely because of the rim size. I would be interested in seeing if anyone has gone with a wider tire though!

Oh yea I guess that is true you would need a 10 or 10.5 for a 305 probably

295 should be able to fit though but might be close?
285 for sure

285 would most likely work, I've seen Hellcats with stock 9.5x20 rims running 295s, but I think 295s the highest size I would go with.

I believe 285 would work on the 9.5 rim being that MB GLC runs that tire size on same rim width. Not sure about clearance/rubbing etc
