Hey guys,
This question has probably been asked quite a lot but I just can't find a thread that answers my question exactly
I took ownership of a 2015 VFII SV6 in November and the previous owner said that it had staggered wheels, I thought great the back is wider than the front and that'll be sick. When I had a closer look at the car all of the tyres were 255/35R20, bit strange if the car has staggered wheels. The owner said the front rims are 20x8.5 and the rear is 20x10. I've noticed the back rims stick out past the actual tyre itself, which I assume means that I need to get a wider tyre? It just annoys me that the back itself stick out, and would especially get on my nerves if I got a flat tyre and the rims would run on the road!
So I've looked around the forum and seen stuff like certain sizes would rub on the guards and something about offset (which I have no clue about), but my question is what size tyre should I put on the back if the rim is 20x10?
This is how they are at the moment to clear up any confusion:
FRONT: 20x8.5 | 255/35R20
REAR: 20x10 | 255/35/R20
I've attached a photo of the rim sticking out on the rears.
Thanks
