    anyone know anywhere that sells 315/30R20 or 325/30R20.

    I got new rims put on by ozzy tyres, they dont have sports tyres to fit on the rims they put on, so they put 305/20R20 on the rear but they are stretch out.

    Looks ok but my speedo is now 16kms to fast and if the lip on a drive way is to high it nips the rim :bash:

    Incase anyone wanted to know, my front rims are 20x11 and rear is 20x12 and a custom offset so I don't know

    You're speedo won't read lower with a higher profile tyre. if you'r reading over with a 20 profile, you'll be reading even higher with a 30.

    You'll be able to get decent tyres in that size but they're going to cost you. Should be able to get Pilot Sport Cup 2's.

    Hate to be 'that guy', but your wheels are too big.

    Thanks for the help!

    I just didn't want to get smaller rims then the stock rims so I went bigger, they don't scrape or anything. So I'm happy with them for now

    AndyMac Better than you

    You should be able to get Pzero Corsa system tyres reasonably at that price. Not a great wet tyre though, but you can get them for around $500 for the rears.

    Thank you.
    Doesn't bother me about the wet, I only take it out on the weekends. Mostly after tyres that don't look like "rubber bands" haha and that can grip the road.:br:

    The last line or two??? Are you telling us that tyresize site says you are travelling faster that the speedo reports and the speedo is out by that same amount?

    The tyresize website is great.
    Yes speedometer are designed to make you think your car is going faster, by design. If you use a diag program and interface you will see what the electronics of the car thinks is happening at the wheels, but your gps speedo tells you something closer to reality.

    Use gps speedo as smart phone app or find gps speed on your tomtom navigator.

    Get an accurate GPS, take it out onto the highway, sit on a constant speed. You will work out pretty quick your speed.
