20” Tyre size for 8.5~10J staggered wheels

[WILDTHING7]

Hi I’ve just got these new wheels
Size: 20 Inch
Width: 8.5J & 10J
Offset (ET): +35/+40 Respectively
PCD: 5x120
Centre Bore: 72.6mm (Spigots Included)
Max Load (per wheel): 885kg/1950lbs
And I really need to know what tyres to put on them it’s a t28 with standard suspension at the mo and help would be great thx

As your T6 is a T28 whatever tyre you fit must have a load rating of 100 or more.
You've got staggered wheels so I suggest you have a read of some of these threads, which should help you;

I’ve read some seems like a minefield

 

[DaveD]

The tyres / wheels subject can be a bit daunting but I'm afraid that purchasing staggered alloys makes it more complicated than it normally is. The benefit of staggered wheels seems to me to be purely aesthetic (a good enough reason on it's own).
Do as much reading as you can before committing to the purchase and fitting of 4 tyres, there are forum members with the same sized wheels as those you've purchased and their experiences and recommendations are there to be read.

Looks nice but you may fall into the trap that lots of people on 20's and standard suspension do. After a short while they find the ride quality is not great and they blame their new wheels and tyres when the real reason is that the standard shocks just can't handle the extra unsprung mass of the wheels and tyres. Fitting lowering springs only will make things even worse. However if you change to a quality set of uprated shocks and springs it will transform the ride totally.

I’m looking into changing the shocks and springs too thx

My Van had 20inch fitted when I got it. Have experimented with Tyre pressure and found 42 front and 40psi rear gives the best ride (for me).

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I apologise if this has been asked loads of times but I wondered if I could get some advice on tyre sizes. I have recently brought a set of Inovit speed alloys 20 inch and they are the staggered set. It’s 8.5J ET35 on the fronts and 10J ET40 on the rears and I wondered what’s the best sizing for these wheels. I thought about a 255/40/20 on the front and either 265 or 275/40/20’s on the rear.
Any advice would appreciated

Thanks

Is it a 4 motion? If so you’ll need to keep front and rear the same radius.

Hi, thanks for your reply, no mines a T28 P/V Highline bmt.

Do you have any suggestions for tyre size for that wheel setup as I have been looking but keep seeing so many options

Thanks

I have Goodyear Eagle F1. 10.5J 265/40 rear and 9J 245/45 front if that helps

 

[AJ74]

thank you, all advice is appreciated

 

[Bigsidavies]

thank you, all advice is appreciated

Sorry, been busy. Similar to Deaky. I have 275/40/20 rear and 245/45/20 front. That keeps the circumference the same front to rear (I have a 4Mo) and the 245 is better suited to the 8.5j wheel width. Drives much better with those on the front-I used to have 275/40/20 on the front too and the difference is better pick up, lighter steering, more precise steering and no rubbing.

Great, thank you that helps a lot, can’t wait to get them on.

Thanks everyone

Considering buying same size wheels as you have, do you have a pic from the side as worried about my tyres sticking out, do yours stick out? Thanks

That's the exact setup I have. Works great.
I have had new koni shocks and h&r springs from CRS Performance.

Ride is fantastic.
