Default Problem
I have 20 inch rims, the tires are 245/35 20, i've busted my tires about 8 times in two months, and replaced two of my rims cuz they got bent. Anybody frequently mess up their tires or is it just me?

That's when you need more rubber around that Rim, which you can lift it and get more rubber, or drop the rim size.

that's why a lot of people here say 18" max.
