Re: Tire size for 20" rim?

I am shopping as well.
My opinion is 305 is too wide for 8.5. The rim needs to be at least 9 or 9.5 for the 305.
I think the rubbing will depend on the offset. For 8.5 I believe the offset should be +18 to have stock clearance. For 9 inch wide it needs to be +12 offset. 6 offset is equivelant to 1/4 inch.

I am probably going with 285-50-20 on 20 x 8.5 wheels. It'll be an inch shorter in diameter but will look nice a wide from the rear view.
