Default XJR tires on Kasuga wheels

Looking to see a visual of 265/35/20 & 295/30/20 on Kasuga wheels. Any rubbing? I would think bulge would be more present since XJR wheels are slightly wider.

Or how about 255/40/20 and 285/35/20 does it help fill the wheel wells? Does it look like a 4x4.

I need tires and and looking for ideas. I have an XJL and the stockers look stretched and sidewall looks kinda skinny.

Here are pictures of 265/35/20 & 295/30/20 on Matavia wheels. IMHO the tires fit perfectly and there is no rubbing. I've used the larger tires now for 5 years. Always Michelin Pilot Sports

Thanks are these wheels wider than Kasuga, they are pretty squared on the rim. I was expecting them to bulge.

The Matavia wheels are the same size as all the 20" XJ OEM 20x9 front and 20x10 even the Fallon wheel for the XJR are the same size.

Interesting. Is the offset different? I feel like the Fallons are more flush with the fender. Maybe it’s the illusion of the better fitting 265 and 295? Totally digging the wider tire on the rims. I have polished Kasugas, an option not many went for with the black wheel trend, but feel like they look great looking on my metallic ultimate black.

I have polished on the left and spare silver on the right, you can tell the polished ones gives it an upscale look.

Polished on Right



Silver on left

Found online someone that was once selling a set with 255 35 20 & 285 35 20

He kept the sidewall aspect as stock which effectively gives it a taller side wall.

Yay or nay? I am actually looking for all season tires this time around and winter might be heavily compromised with 265 & 295 although I love the wider stance. I guess I’m undecided. The 285 fills the gap nicely and is only 1% difference in the diameter calculator.

Let me know what you think?
