Keep in mind that the width of your wheel is going to play a big role. Most people who upgrade to a 20 inch rim opt for a 20x12. In that case I'd say the biggest you need to go is 325 on the tire.

I have a 20x12 with a 325/20. I do remember Jordan at 360, posting pic of his car with 345/20. Do remember you have to keep the ratio difference between front and rear tires similar to the factory do to the all wheel drive system

You can run 325x25 in mich, pir, conti, and I think a 335/25 or 345/25 Nitto Invo without rubbing. Whats the width of your rear wheel? The sizes I just mentioned are for 12x20's

The wheel are Rennworx VS-XXE 20” Wheels with Black Centers. The front wheels are 20”x8.5” ET56 and the rear wheels are 20”x12.0” ET50.

SO 245/30/20 front & 325/25/20 for rear is ok? You think the offset is ok if i lowered it an inche or so?

Anyone have these wheel on the 977 TT? just want to see what it look like.

thanks
