    Ok, I can get a really sweet deal on a set of Bridgestone S03 275/30 - 20, I understand they will fit the rim (standard) but will the tyre be TOO low?
    Any experiences?

    I ran the 275 40s on 20s and I wouldnt suggest going the 30 unless you live in a perfect area with no potholes...

    275/30/20 -> 26.5" diameter
    Stock 255/45/20 -> 29" and 245/45/20 -> 28.7"

    Doesn't sound like a good idea...

    Yes, but you could adjust that with a Predator. It would be about perfect for a stock motor at the track... 3rd would top out at 113mph which should just get you through the traps.

    But it would look funny, ride quality would probably be crap and like Sd said, they'd probably break on the first pothole.

    Great, not the answers I was looking for but I got the idea.
    No, our road arent prefect and they´d probably break, too bad, the price was right...
    Thanks a lot!

    275/40/20 end of story.

    I even think some rock 35 sidewalls to "lower" the vehicle. Meanwhile, you're left with a bigger fender gap, yuck

    That would look ULTRA shitty, don't do it. Fender gap would be horrendous.

    EDIT:
    One day my dealer accidentally mounted my original 245/45's on the rear, and I swear the gap from tire to fender was about 3 or 4 inches. I could almost put the width of my fist in there. The gap with those tires would be WORSE.
