what should I go with?

stock is 245/45/20 up front, 255/45/20 out back.


right now the car has 255/45/20 blizzaks all the way around.



lots of guys on the 300 forums... where i am quickly learning that i do not fit in all so much... rock 255/45/20s in front and 275/45/20s out back.


"staggered"

mmmmm, i dont know if i really want to do this... i dont really see why its needed... its a 4200 lb 4 door boat... not a top fuel dragster...

so with that being said,

255/45/20s all the way around


255/45/20s in front, 275/40/20s out back



275/40/20 all the way around

If its your DD and your gonna focus more on the GP, Id just get the same size all around for rotating purposes. That would be cheaper in the long run.

Do you not fit in cause they talk about jersey shore and brag about knock off watch purchases or something?

if the 275s bulge out any at all from the rim, go with the 255s. I ran 245s on stock regal rims rather than 255, and the bulge KILLED the already poor handling, because of how the bulge caused the sidewall to roll under. I suppose the sidewalls on the 3hundo are a good deal shorter, but I think it'd be a better driver with the 255s, or at most, staggered.

You are already going to be paying up the ass for 20's just get 255's all the way around.

nah the price difference is negligible completely. doin some ebay special hankooks.

What width rim? Jumping from a 245 to a 275 seems like a lot.

its either 9 or 10 can't recall correctly.. but big.

yeah im thinking with the smaller aspect ratio, the handling wont be compromised.
