Default Orderd From Tirerack.com

I orderd a set of 225/35/20 and 255/35/20 tires. Now they called me back and told me that they would be to tall for our car? Is this true? Do I need to goto a 30 series tire? any feedback would be very helpful...
Thank YOU

Yes, those tires will be taller for sure which will throw off your speedometer. You'll be going faster than what your speedo reads which could net you some tickets.... Use the tire sizing chart below to help you. More than likely the 30 series tires as you stated would give you a closer ratio. Good luck!
