Best 20" tire size

Hi, just picked up 20" wheels
20x10 22offset
20x11 24 offset
What would be a good tire size that looks good?
Thanks!

The common go to is a 285/35r20 front and 295/35r20 rear. However, I have recently started looking into other options and found guys running 295/305 combos.

Two size and offset options I have seen/verified work without runbing are OEM wheels no spacers, and a 20x11 et 28. I run an 11” wide with a 24mm offset and will be trying to fit a 305 out back since my rear tires are shot. I was going to pick up either some cheap xcomp tires for fitment testing or a set of used cup2 just to verify fitment before committing to a new set.

Some tires are wider than others in the same size. I’d check Tire Rack specs for the models you are considering.

Here's something a lot of people overlook or are not aware of- tread roll caused by running tires wider than the ideal width. Yes, a wider tire equals more grip but only if you pair it with the appropriate width wheel. If you run wider than the upper limit of ideal then you just have more loose rubber that will bend, scrunch and roll which means less grip and more chances of damage to the drivetrain components.
Your ideal front tire would be 275/35/20 or 275/30/20(if you want a thinner sidewall) and the rear would be 295/30/20.
This contains professional advice as well as personal experience.
We work with a few racers (semi-pro and pro) and have to forge custom wheels to meet their desired goals (time attack).
