Anyone running 285 / 50 / 20 inch tires?

I might buy a set of Konig Lace 20 x 8.5 wheels. Anyone running 285/50 20's?

Lots of tire options in that size, but I'm concerned about rubbing on the front.

 

Can anyone confirm. Per 1010tires.com, the 285 will fit between 8-10" wheel. I was running a 285 tire on my old Mustang on a 10 inch wheel, so I'm a little worried about a 285 going on a 8.5 inch wheel.

 

Let me know what you guys are running on your 20's and the width of your wheels.

Thanks,

285/50/20 tire will be to tall your speedo will be way off and may delay tranny shift points, and 8.5 " wheel is not wide enough for that tire width, i would go with a 255/50/20 or 265/45/20 with an 8.5" wheel + make sure wheel offset is 40mm ,,

^Agreed

 

The Konig Lace is ugly and cheap.

Why would you sell your Sport wheels and buy something worse?
