All advice and experiences are welcome, please! I will not get my car until next month, but I want to order my wheels & tires, so I need some serious input here so I can get this first order right. I finally decided on wheels and tires, I just gotta get this right and then I can order them by Tuesday (My deadline). I got people waiting on my OEM 19's already!


Here's what I am thinking for my 06 6MT Coupe

20x9 Axis Mods on the front with 255/35/20's (Stock tire and wheel diameter is 26.10 inches, with this combo it will go up to 27.)
20x10 Axis Mods on the rear with 285/30/20's (Stock tire and wheel diameter is 26.7 inches, with this combo it will go up to 26.8)

I want to fill up my wheel well as much as possible width wise, and lower it some (maybe 1/2" to 1") to bring it closer to the ground. But I do not want to rub either (at least very rarely). I am open to rolling the fenders, but I do not want to cut them.

Going on an 06 6MT coupe.
Do you think these sizes will clear with the stock suspension?

1) What about if I drop it an 0.5" to 1" ?

2) Should I go with 245/30/20's in the front if I plan on dropping it an inch, or will they clear?

The reason I ask all this is cause I am not sure how much I am going to need to drop it for looks without running into clearance problems.

That set up has been done a few times already, but the offsets on those wheels are not aggressive enought and they will be tucked in the fenders. Do you know what the offsets are yet?

 

Uhhhh........................no. That's a little to technical for me right now. I just need to order the wheels and tires that are close to what I am looking 4.

They are gonna be 20x9 in the front, 20x10 in the rear. I knows there are a few folks here have had these and I need them to chime in here.

 

i have a 245/35/20 ft and a 275/30/20 rear. i love it and it looks great

 

you really should get a 30 series in the front too. as you mentioned the setup you are choosing has the front tires larger then the rear which is opposite of the stock configuration.

 

recommended size is within 3% of stock height for your speedometer. the front wheel is close enough that it shouldnt be a problem. as for the drop, id stay under 1" drop but it all depends on your offset.

 

offsets plz.
