Default Reassurance on wheel/tire sizes before purchase.

Want everyone who has gone with 20's to chime in and give me their opinion. I am about to purchase 20" Diablo rims. I believe they come in 8" or 8.5" width (not sure of that yet, more likely just 8"). So, if I am going with a TRD or Eibach drop what size tire would everyone recommend?

Also, I haven't got the exact offset measurement yet for the rims, so if people could chime in on the perfect offset to use that would be great also.

I am looking to do the trd/eibach drop, 20" rims and have no, or VERY limited rubbing. Suggestions or guidelines to follow?

Thanks for any information, don't want to get burned on this purchase.

here's mine (after being in the body shop for 3 wks waiting for a new right front fender)


they're 20x8s with a +43 offset
riding on 235/30/20s

lowered on TRD springs
with 5axis lip kit

no rubbing

offset is really dependent on the wheel width
if you are getting 8" wheels -- i'd suggest going with +40 up front and +35 in the rear
for a great staggered look

i'm attempting to find out myself if i can fit a 35 series tire to my 20s for a bit more sidewall cushion
if so, i'll be going with 225/35/20s
