245 vs 255

[travisanthony07]

yes yes they are beautiful, aren't they? anyway they are my new 20x8.5 with cheap falken 245/30 temporarily.

so to the question, after putting more thought into the tires what do you guys think i should go with, 245/30 or 255/30. im not sure advantages or disadvantages are 245/30 vs 255/30, also how well they will look on a 8.5" rim. also ive been looking at the g-Force KDW mostly because the tread is just a beautiful thing to me, but is there a better choice for stickiest of summer tires?

let me know what you guys think

I have falken 245s on my fronts as well and it seems that they run more narrow than the 245 BFgoodrich that I had on my stock 16 in wheels...When I had the wheels stacked up next to eachother, the 16 in wheels seemed quite a bit wider. And both the 16" and 20" rims were 8.5" wide. So going with 255/30/20 might get you to the same width as stock, at least with my experience.
