hey i just picked up a set of 20"x 8.5 with +38offset
can anyone advise me on what size tire to get also which lowering spring so that i don't have to get a camber kit only an alignment
thanks matt

Matt,

Depending on the look you are going for you can do several things, What you listed above would work great. But you could go with wider tires. Such as 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 for that wide look in the back. We just did a 350z like that and it looked very sporty. Just a thought, But yes your setup would work perfect.

 

well i like the agressive look with wide tires but i heard you can't go that wide in the back on a sedan only on two door i don't want it to rub after lowering even when i have four people in the car this car has to be functional daily driver i put about 25,000miles a year
what do you think about 245/35/20 front and maybe 255/35/20 back
let me know,i see you're a tire place so you know what you talking about your input is very appreciated
thanks matt

 

Since you are doing 8.5 all around they I would say 245/35 all around dropped on Z springs in front and coupe springs in the rear. Also you could fit a 275/30 in the rear but then you would need a 10" rear rim.

 

what drop do the z front and coupe in the back,why not just get tein
thanks matt

 

you should go with 245/35/20 all around. It doesn't make sense to stagger the tires when the wheels are the same size anyway. 275/30/20 on that size wheel and offset will not work either.

I have 20x9.5 with 275/30/20 in the rear like many others do, without any problems.

 

yeah i guess it makes sense even if i want the agressive look i can put wheel spacers in the back.
what about the springs which ones should i put so i can get away with just an alignment
thanks matt

 

spacers don't make sense either. they will only bring the wheel out further and the fitment will be worse. I'd suggest you spend some time browsing through the various threads and you will find a lot of info.

 

i guess, i'll just get 245/35/20 all around and get the tein s

p.s thank you all for the info you guys are the best i was a member on lot of different forums for all the cars i had the only ones that had good people was saab forum and a ford probe forum
thanks matt
