lots of wheel shops say that a 5x4.5 inch (144.3mm) which is a MUCH more common size will fit....but i still went with the 5x115.

hey 20inchaurora, what size tires do you have on ur rims? I called this weekend for some wheels and they told me I needed 245/35/20 tires but I wanted something a little bigger, and they said they wouldnt do it for me.

You should do the 255/35, some people have the 245/35 as well.
On my Classic I had 255/35 that's what the Wheel place that I went to recommended.

I could be wrong but thats what I thought it was |

to put it most simply....the first number is the width of the tire in mm. the second number is the aspect ratio..being the percentage of the width that is the height. the last number, obviously is the rim size. so for a 245/35/r20 tire...it is 245mm wide, the hight of the tire is 35% of 245 (AKA not much!!!), and it mount on a 20 inch rim. Therefore, a 245/35 vs a 255/35, the 255 will be wider AND a bit taller, due to the fact that the second number is indeed a ratio
