I picked up a set of used Niche staccato wheels 20x9 20x10rear  for my Flex

Going to be buying my first set of summer tires since I have winter rims now what summer tire do you guys recommend?

What size tire should I run on the front and rear?

Honestly I think you should do 275/40/20 up front no question but in the rear?  Either 275 as well and if it has a slight stretch it would be completely fine....or go a little wider in the rear.  305/35/20 maybe.

That's what I was thinking but the rears will be slightly smaller in diameter

Driving me nuts all night trying to figure what setup to do

I have 245/40/20 front 275/35/20 rear its totally fine.  I think 305/40 is too much of a difference.  275/40 all the way or I would do 305/35/rear.

to have them almost exact you would have to do a 315/35 rear like I had done.  But thats all up to you.  I was very happy with mine.  I was very skeptical of them fitting but they did.  275/40 fr and 315/35 rear and I would still spin them hogs on the street

Thanks for your input! That's what I'm gonna go with I love that it keeps the same outside diameter

I am running 275/40-20 in the front and 315-35-20 in the rear.

They actually work perfect... the AWD doesn't care because the circumference is the same.

When I ran a slightly different front vs. back the car torque steered like crazy.
Th AWD light would also come on on long drives.

Is there any benefit to this setup? Seems like reduced mpg, more weight, more rolling friction, and even worse drag coefficient. Am I missing something? Also add in no tire rotation possible and increased maintenance cost.

I love the agressive stance it will give it and the handling and traction performance, if I were concerned about MPG I woulda bought a Prius

I'm not buying directional tires so il be able to rotate side to side and il only be running this set up in the summer

It'll look bad ass and for some that is worth giving up some efficiency...which is probably miniscule.

I know some  have changed rims for lighter weight, and we don't run 10ply on cars for the same reasons. To each their own. I'm for 100% function over form but I hope everyone continues to make this platform popular enough for the aftermarket to be interested.
