1. What series tires are you running on your 20's ?

2. If you are running 30 series, do you think there is room on them to run 35's ? How much clearance do you have on the front when turning ?

3. What are the BEST prices you found on tires for them ?

4. How far did you have to go to get them mounted and where ?

5. Were you able to get a alignment since you put them on ?.. If so, how far and where did you have to go to find a place that would do it ?

my rears are 285/30ZR20 i happen to pick them up off ebay for a ridiculous price for the pair.....$220 shipped (brand new Bridgestone Pole Positions, yes for the pair)
when i have it aligned i will be putting a set of 17 inch 10 spoke ss wheels on it (every shop i talked to said the there is no way they can get the alignment gauge on a 20 inch wheel)
i have a buddy that mounted them for me. (the only guy i trust to mount tires for me) he only wanted $20 to mount and balance both wheels, but i gave him a $50 bill cause he was so careful.
a 35 series would be ok on certain sizes like 245/35ZR20 or 255/35ZR20.....anything wider i would only go with a 30 series tire!
hope this helps ya!

whats up pure, pretty much ditto everything that chuckster said. i too am running 285/30YR20's on my 20 inchers. i really dont think theres a difference between the Y and the Z. i think the 35 series would be okay as well but depends on the size you are running because you could very well run into some turning clearance issues like you said. i bought my tires off of tirerack.com for i believe 250 a piece, though the dude that called me to verify my order told me that the tires i placed the order for were "Too Aggressive" for my size wheel! whatever that is supposed to mean!! i got the bridgestone potenza S-03's. tirerack was the cheapest place what so ever that i could find, though im sure somewhere out there a cheaper place is lurking around. i honestly called 11 tire shops around here and none of them would mount them onto my wheels. they said that since the wheels were expensive they didnt want anything to do with them. NTB said that since i didnt buy wheels from them that they wouldnt do it either. i found a place about 30 minutes from here that specializes in custom car stuff and they did them for me in about 15 minutes no questions asked. actually since i have lowered my car i havent had it aligned. i again called a bunch of places and not one of them around here would do it. so finally i found a place that wasnt in the phonebook and i stopped in and the dude said that he would do it, so i have to find a little time SOON to do it! hope that helps a little
