Wider tires mean nothing when running that much camber. I'd bet willing to bet his tires on the R6 have more contact patch than the 8.

Doing the math, this might actually be true.

If you want a concave wheel it is going to have to be wider than a x8. Also, I wouldn't recommend putting anything wider than a 245 onto 20x8.
Please refer to the will it fit thread

Oh your gonna need to shave your bumper tabs

How would a 265/ 35 compare to a 275/30 on a 10.5? The tires are cheaper that's why I'm asking.

Also it would give you a different look, Google some pics 275/30/19 19x10.5 so it would give you the idea on how it would sit.

It really depends on the tire. Some tires are more wide then others. Dont get to cought up in claimed tire size alone.
