Anyone running 285/35/20 on the rear of a xf or xfr? I was looking for tires and I found a deal of 285/35/20s ..I believe they were only a half inch taller ,which would actually close the fender gap,but I just don't know if they will look dumb with the bigger sidewall..Thanks

 

bent 3 of my rims never again ,back to19/40/245

 

They will fit perfectly OK on the rear of an XFR or any XF with the correct width rear wheels (9.5" or 10.0" I believe) and as you say they will also help to reduce the yuge fender gap. They will also improve the ride a tad and reduce the built in speedo over-read and bring it closer to accurate.
I say go for it!

 

I was kinda just looking for someone who may be running the same size to see if they look awkward and if they noticed a difference in ride quality..

 

Ride quality does not suffer, and Looks good ,but in my case 3 rims bent so I went back to stock, got a little expensive

 

So you had 285/35/20 and went back to 285/30/20 which is stock ? I'm a little confused 285/35 is a taller tire so it seems less likely to bend a rim with a taller tire?

 

Anyways I went ahead and bought them ..couldn't pass it up they were normally $449 each tire ,got the pair for $224 shipped and everything came in 1 day also .Only issue is they don't make that model of tire in a 255/35/20 only a 255/40/20 ..So still deciding what to do for the front .
