with the assumption that if you lower the car you do get your alignment back into spec with the correct camber arms and such, I see no reason why anyone can't get 20k miles on their tires. Sure, if...

nah, you are going 10mm wider than the stock tire on the sport package up front, and it's 1/2 inch wider wheel which is about 13 mm if I recall. It will basically look like stock.
For the rear you...

ok, on the 9.5 front go with 255/35/20 (27" diameter)
on 11 inch rear (or 10.5 if you can) go with 295/30/20 (27" diameter)

these are the optimum sizes to stay close to stock diameter. you might...

stock rear tire on sport package is a 275 on 10" wide, and it's definitely not stretched. 285 or 295 would be good on a 10.5, but I think 295 is more of an odd size so the 285 will be cheaper.

If...

I googled "HRE 590r sizes" and one of the top 2 or 3 places had 18-20 inch diameter with 9-12.5 sizes. I can't remember the exact place but it shouldn't be hard to spot if you google that phrase....

the 590 r's get up to 12.5" wide, and go in half inch increments so they'd be a little easier to match wheel and tire sizes.

Personally, I think if you are going to spend that kind of cash on...

haha, think of it as a percentage

25 series aspect ratio is going to have sidewall height 25% of the width of the tire

so a truck with 50 series will have 50% sidewall height :icon18:

That's the key, aspect ratio:

think of it as the sidewall height = (aspect ratio) x (width)

both wheels are 20 inch, so you want the same sidewall height on each to achieve the same overall...

The reasoning behind this is the second number in the tire size is going to be the sidewall height as a ratio of the width.

So, 255/30/20 = 26" diameter and 775 revs per mile
and 305/25/20 = 26"...

Rear with 10.5 should be +26 mm if you want to match the 19x10 +20
front with 9.5 would need +18 mm if you want to match the 19x9 +24..+20 would probably be pretty safe
