i mainly just look at what the vendors got.
the forgedstars are pretty nice, they have a nice colour for any colour Z. like piano black for a white z or a murdered out Z titanium for blue and tone tone for greys. 360 rims are risky to get, that company almost went under......sevas rims have a bad rep. modular concepts have nice rims, CF ones also |

So, 255/30/20 = 26" diameter and 775 revs per mile and 305/25/20 = 26" diameter and 776 revs per mile The rear tire is nearly identical in overall diameter to the front, even though the sidewall height number is smaller. if you want to compare tire sizes, use Tire size calculator |

yea, it's height/width ratio
but if the fronts are 20in and the rear aswell.......i dont get how 255-30-20 ,305-25-20 are the same diameter...unless the wider tires are a bit taller |

i kno the width is in millimeters but the diameter is in inches , that always messes me up , but i still dont understand why the hell people get a smaller aspect ratio for the rear

plug the values on the calculator, those sizes give the same diameter but the rear travel one mile more.......i dont get that....we really need tire tire sizes & offsets 101 here

That's the key, aspect ratio:
think of it as the sidewall height = (aspect ratio) x (width) both wheels are 20 inch, so you want the same sidewall height on each to achieve the same overall diameter for a 255/30, height = .30 x 255 = 76.5 for a 305/25, height = .25 x 305 = 76.5 hope that helps |
