How good is a 225/35/20" Tire fit on a 20x8.5?

Well, do they fit good? Hope so i just ordered some, Says the width on the tire is 8.85inches.

it will fit, but the side wall will look a little streched. You should have got 245/35/20

I agree......or maybe as far as getting a 255/35/20.

I think a 245 is still a stretch on an 8.5 rim. it will work fine, but a 255+ fits and looks nicer

well, i went to the tire website and said that a 225/35/20" tire will fit on the 20x8.5" rim fine said 6.5-8.5 will work fine on. and thats the right diameter forthe car its going on, only a 14mm difference in height. So i figure that it should be fne, they said they'll ft.

255/35/20 is perfect on an 8.5 wide rim. 245 is already stretching it, I can only imagine a 225. anything less than a 255 is only gonna give you less side wall protection on your wheel. i personally think they don't look good,just my 2 cents.

I have 245 on my 20x8.5 and they look fine, no strechin at all

well, i did some lookin on SSM and found this t-bird w/ 225/35/20" tires on 20x8.5" rims and they look fine to me, maybe not perfect, but they still look good i think heres the link to his profile

i have 225/30/20 on a 20 by 8.5 and it looks good on my rims but its a civic!!

these arent goin on a truck, its a ford fusion. IMO thse rims & tires are too small for trucks.
