    OBS 20" front tire size??

    Hey guys. I currently have 255/35/20s on 8.5 in rims on the front of my OBS Yukon (275/40 out back) . Are there any tire sizes which will give me a little bit more sidewall and still be relatively the same width?? I just find the sidewall on the 255/35 small for my preference.

    You should be able to run a 245/40/20 up there, it's slightly taller and a tiny bit narrower. You might be able to get away with more since you're on an 8.5" wheel depending on the backspacing, but it could be risky.

    Tire size 255/35/20 245/40/20
    Sidewall Height: 3.51 3.86
    Section Width: 10.04 9.65
    Overall Diameter: 27.03 27.72
    Circumference: 84.91 87.07

    I run 255/45/20 Nittos on the front with an 8.5" wheel. I had to roll the front fender lip though.
