20"s with a little meat?

RuskiE39 · 11-28-2022, 02:55 PM

Time for new tires, is anyone running the factory snowflake 20's (staggered) with tires that are a little beefier than sport/street tires?

I can't seem to find much and am leaning towards the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra's.

Post up some pics if you got anything that works with these wheels.. would love to see what everyones running.

Thank you,

I'm running aftermarket 20's on a square set up so I can still rotate the tires, as I drive 7-8k miles a month... And a staggered setup would just not be useful to me... I chose to accept a little speedometer offset from a factory tires diameter... About 1mph at 70 off base... And I'm running 275/45/20's that have a decent side wall and still look good... Not to mention I found non runflats for about $115 a tire .. so low in fact I bought 8 of them so I have new ones when the first set wears out in 7-8 months....

What tires are you running and do you have any photos?

What tires are you running? For your mileage I'd be pointing you towards a set of michelin defender LTX M/s's. With a custom alignment to dial out the massive toe that causes most of the rear tire wear, I'd wager they would last you 70k+ miles. Mine were on track to last 80-90k without issue on my X5, but I decided to go for a more offroad protective tire and sized up on my 18" wheels.

@ucsbwsr This looks great. I know the offet on those ZL1 wheels is different, are you able to run them without spacers?
