275/55/20 tires on stock 20in rims

[falcondrgn]

Hi,


I searched on the forum but it seems that there was no definitive answer to this. Has anyone tried 275/55/20 on stock 20in rims? I have a stock height awd fx and was wondering if this is doable. Thank you.

275-45-20 is the best way to go

Wouldnt going 275 45 20 make the sidewall smaller than stock? Our odometer readings are already off, I think going lower will just make it even more off. I mean would the 275 55 20s rub anything on a stock height first gen?

But doing it your way, the speedo will still be off but opposite and read too slow by 4.9%.

and that's much better than the other way around.

Correct, so in a sense it would be off but off the way that benefits the mileage, not hurt it?

yup, lets call it our way of fixing the odometer problem with stock wheels since Infiniti won't issue a recall for our model year........olution

Will there be rubbing issues when turning or what not though? Thats my main concern (with stock height and stock 20s)

No you should be fine at stock height and suspension.

not to sure but my best guess would be no rubbing issues. the tire shop told me it wouldn't be a problem. and then i have spacers. you might want to get them too.
