Gary or others... looking for the narrowest 275/30/20 option.....

trying to squeeze them onto a RS6 .....MTM shows it on their cars using a Cont1 2 on 19 x 9.5 Et30.....

I'm looking to use BBS RS-GT's 20 x 9.5 ET 36 with 6mm spacers and hopefully squeeze the 275 in....

any suggestions would be much appreciated !

I may end up just going with 265's but I'd love a bit more sidewall !

Regards -

contis run very wide

I've heard that the Falken 451 (not sure bout the 452) runs on the narrow side so they might be an option to look into further.

Going strictly by published section width specs given by the tire manufacturer, the Conti Contact2 has the most narrow section width tire in this particlar size.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

wow that's surprising

I always read that the Contis run wide and when I've compared my Conti SC2s to other brands of the same size I see a wider shoulder on the Contis. Strange...
