Default Brake pads.

Whats up all. Getting fed up with the brake dust and constant squeaking. I know there is a lot of info out there regarding pads and such i'm just looking for more options. Which do you run?

I also want to purchase a set of aftermarket 20'' wheels to replace my 19's. What size tire can I fit? Looking into 20x10 in the Vossen brand. I'm not very knowledgable but i'm learning.

The OEM 20" tire size is 255/35-20.

I think 255 would be pretty stretched on a 10 inch wide wheel...

I recently switched to Akebono ceramic when my pad low warning light was on. It is like night and day. Virtually no brake dust at all with the Akebono ceramic

It's close at the upper end of the range. This calculator says 8.5"-10" for a 255/35-20
Wheel/Rim Size Calculator - Shows acceptable rim width range for the tyre size

Found the site today when looking to see the recommended rim sizes for my tires.
