Due to abnormal tire wear from my alignment being out for a while I need to replace a tire. Rather than replacing just 1 i'm going to replace 2 and am leaning toward going with a staggered fitment.

I currently run 275/45/20 and am not sure what other 2 to buy.
In Hankook ventus RH06 (which i want) I can get 275/55/20, 295/45/20, or 285/50/20

I want 295/50 but don't see anyone that has them. Do you think I should do 295/45 or go 1/2 way and grab the 285/50/20's for rear so I have a bit more mph out of each gear over what I have now with my 4.30 ratio?

THe 295/45/20's will look right at home. That's what I ran on mine forever. I'm now running 305/40/22's

go as wide as possible if you dont it will barely show any difference. That being said, 295's all the way. And like MC's you'll probly go through a set of rears before you will need a set of fronts. Good and bad, but I didnt even need a second set of rears when I needed fronts

It's only lowered 2" in the rear.
295/45 is 30.45" and 285/50 is 31.22"

I have some 265/70/17's I run on occasion which is 31.61" so it would be Awesome if I could find some 295/50's which are also 31.61 so I don't have to recalibrate my speedometer when I switch.

I guess I'm gonna go for 295's and do some more searching to see if I can get it in a 50. If not I'll get it in the 45.

Thanks

I had a set of those once and didn't like them. On the good side they smoked like a **** from a stop and I can't get my hankooks to smoke at all even if i burn out.
