Default question about new tire size

i currently run stretched 255/35/20 tires on the rears of my 20x10.5-0 offset wheels, i got a 20mm spacer and run it cambered. i am tired of that look and want a proper fitting tire and get my camber re adjusted.(also remove the spacer) what size tires do you reccomend with my offset?

So you were really running a -20 offset after the spacer?..

I run 19x11 +5 with a 295/30 Bridgestone on the rear and it fits very well.

In your position, I'd recommend you run a 295/30, too.

You should be commended for that

For 10.5" wide rims I would run a 285 tire minimum. But of course, there are other variables to consider. I'm not too familiar with 20" wheel configurations, so I'll just leave it that.

I am running 20" rims with 255/35/20 front 285/30/20 rear although you can go wider at the back. No spacers by the way.
