    I am looking at tires for my new rims.. 8.5x20 front 10x20 rear.

    I am considering Nitto NT05's 245/45/20's front and 275/40/20's rear..

    or

    Yokohama Advan sport 245/40/20's front and 295/40/20's rear..

    or possibly Nitto Invos.

    any thoughts on above listed brands or size's.. I just install my coil-overs and sway bars this week and dropped little.

    cheers

    They don't make a NT-05 in a 245, if they did, I would have got those for the front. I have the 255/45-20's front, 275/45-20's rear. Awesome tires. The fronts are a little taller the the rears, 29.09 vs. 28.62. They have a 315/35-20 that's the same heighth as the 275.
    Cam is running Vreds' in a 275 front 315 rear on his maggy. I think his rear wheels are 10.5 wide.

    I got the Nitto NT 05's - 255 & 275, Nitto said they did not have a demand for the
    245's. I was also considering the Bridgestone RE 70's (they come on the Nissian GT-R),but, at the beginning of this year they did not have them a 20 inch tires available.
