20x10 wheel, 255 square tires or 275 square??

[Pccw]

Hi guys,

I just purchased some 20x10 wheel, wondering what are your thought on tires, will 275 square hurt the range a lot?

the reason I am considering 275 is the extra protection to the rim, hoping it would have some more protection to the curb! 255 on 10 inch is a little stretch so not much meat there...

what do you guys think?

I think 275 would be fine. I'd rather lose a little range than be worried about curbing if you know you might not be careful enough. Stock rears are already running 275s on the performance.

Another vote for 275. I am running 255/45/19 on 19x10 but will be switching over to 285/40/19 on next tire replacement. 255 on 10" wheel is a bit stretched.

I went 255/40/20 R9 for the fronts and 275/40/20 rR9.5. Hope the out good.

I have 275's on my 20x10 wheels. Coming from the 21" Ubers I'm still getting better range.

How is the range difference on the high way? Assuming you made changes to the tires too? The uber's seem to have a very efficient design plus the elect version of the p zeros.

I have a MYP coming and trying to decide to keep the ubers vs run a 20 inch set up like inductions or replika r241.

I have the P Zeros too on this current set. As for the highway I am still seeing better efficiency than the ubers but not by much. I can't recall the number wh/mi but it was minimal.

We run a square 285/35/20 on my friend's. 20x10 +45 though.

Nice.... any rubbing/clearance issues up front with the 285? Assuming the car is on aftermarket suspension, what was changed/added?

Wondering what spec TE37 Mountain Pass Performance has on its Y, they use 285 tires on the time attack even too!!

No issues in that fitment. He just has coilovers and rear camber/toe arms.

Go 275. More wheel protection and a better ride.
