    285/50R20 on 08 RRS

    reading several forum posts, people say these fit with some scrubbing.

    I got my hands on some coopers LTZ's second hand, took them down to the tyre shop and its up against the control arm hard. not scrubbing, hard. completely useless.


    so do they really fit? who's running them and what did you do to get them fitted?

    My brother tried Terra Grapplers in that size on his 08 RRS with the same result so had to settle for 265/50, then destroyed 2 by staking but that's another story.

    Maybe their (aftermarket) rims had a different offset?

    I run 275 45 20 LTZ's on my RRS '08. They are fine. I saw a set of 285's before I bought the 275's and the tyre man said they'd be too big.

    I also run 285 35 22's on the bitumen when I'm not caravanning and they fit fine too.

    I ran Cooper Zeon 275/45 R20’s no issue until I destroyed sidewalls on them (too Low pressure for too long). Now running 265/50 R 20 Nitto Terra Grapplers I prefer them to the Coopers. Again no clearance issues or speedo issues it’s bang on.

    went in this morning, with a 5mm spacer for the front
    got a call from tyre mechanic. looks like it worked, with 5mm to spare.
    pick up this arvo and see if it scrubs anywhere.

    What offset are your wheels? I suspect 53.

    Your choice of course but you will have roadworthy and insurance issues with spacers.
