Downsizing to a smaller rim. 20 to 18.
Hey Guys,
Im downsizing rim size for Winter, what tire size would I need to compensate for the smaller rim? 20 to 18. Current tire size is F: 245/40/20 R: 275/35/20 Thank you.

This is a neat resource I've used many times: https://tiresize.com/calculator/
You would need a 225/55R18 for an exact match, or a 245/50R18 to get real close. For the rear, 245/50R18 for an exact match, or 275/45R18 to get real close. Typically in the snow....narrower is better. |

The LT's use 245/50R18 all the way around. I cant imagine a minor tire diameter change is gonna screw with your ABS or stabilitrack. The track rats do much crazier changes.
