and what do the numbers mean? 245-35-20 , 255-40-20 dont mean to be stupid
Its all good, i have a 86 monte. The 245 is the section width (width in mm of the tire)
The 35 is the aspect ratio (tire height not in inches or overall diameter)
The 20 as u probably know is just the rim size.
The overall diameter of the tires that are on the rims the 275-45-20 is 29.8" in height.
The overall diameter of the front tires i suggested (245-35-20) is 26.77" in height. BIG DIFFERENCE Over an inch and a half top bottom left and right.
The overall diameter of the rear tires i suggested (255-40-20) is 28"
They should give you ample room to turn and still clear your frame rail.
