Default 20 inch tyres on AU

Hey All,

What is the max width 20" tyre you can put on the front of an AU? would you fit 245\35 on there?

a friend of mine has 245/30 profile nankang tyres on a BA XR6T and they fit PERFECTLY

but most people have 225s due to most shops not knowing you can put 245/30s on (only just became available less than a year ago)

goto a BIG wheel and tyre shop they should have some sitting around to try for you im sure?

245/35 DO NOT fit

but they fit fine on the back

Go the Nankang 245/30ZR20, specially designed for the 8.5" rim which actually fit properly and no rim over exposed. Nicely priced to.
