Default Need Tire size advice

I'm running a 20x8.5 +45 offset in the front and 20x11 and +40 offset in the rear will be putting on Techart lowering sprigs and need help with tire sizes as I've read numerous posts and I'm still not sure what guys with 20's are inding as the best result. Tire rack says 235/30/20's and 305/25/20 yet I've seen on the forum 245/30's and 325/25's HELP111

I thought a 11.5 or 12 was needed for the 325's...

I can only comment on tire sizes (width/height):
235/30X20 (25.55") paired with 305/25X20 (26") would fit width wise, height wise, and meet the F/R height requirement for AWD

245/30X20 (25.78") paired with 325/25X20 (26.39") would fit width wise, height wise, and meet the F/R height requirement for AWD

I would not run a 325 on an 11 inch wheel, its too narrow. a little stretch is good for handling and steering feel. go with 305

I run a 305 re11 on a 12 inch wheel and the handling and steering is fantastic

If you want handling go with 19's. The 20's adversely effect the handling and are very difficult to set-up. If you want looks the 20's work fine and 245/30's and 325/25's will work without throwing anything out of whack (as in PTM, transfer case, PASM and etc.)
