Style 87 20" Tire Size. What do you run?

I landed a set of staggered Style 87's (Happy Dance) for $250. So, I'm looking at Hankook's and Continentals, so far.

The interweb says the OEM size to run is:

Rear: 315/35ZR20 and Front:275/40-20

I was curious what size/brand you are running?


I'll be eventually posting the wheels you see in my signature in the F/S forum. They all have some rash, so I'm deciding whether or not to fix them before selling them, or let the next guy handle it. I can get all four smoothed and sprayed for $200. Any idea what the current "Y" style wheels are worth in said condition?

Thanks X5 Gang!

Hey Duke I just purchased the same Y style wheels you are looking to get rid of for $350 with the stock Michelin tires which have decent tread still on them. Only one of the wheels had some minor road rash. Hope that helps you with deciding if it's worth it to have them resurfaced. On a positive note for you, I was running super heavy chrome 20's and my mileage has only improved about 10% with the factory 18's. I'll be going to Style 177's in a 20" soon. I have been researching tire sizes as well but I am leaning towards running a square set up so I can rotate, it seems I can find a large selection of 275/45/20 and they are listed as a correct plus size from the original 18's. The staggered 20" set up in the factory correct size has limited options for rubber availability.

Congrats on scoring the wheels you've been wanting!

I forget the brand of tire im running on mine 20's, but theyre supposedly so no-name brand which is actually owned by a well known company. I searched online and they got great reviews, so once I head into work, i'll let you know what they are.
