OK, I was going to place an order for some wheels and tires and thought I had made the right choices on the sizes but after talking with someone locally from this forum, he's got me thinking....

I was going to order 20X8.5 all around with 245/35/20 all around. For a myriad of reasons he says I should go 20x8.5 with the 245/35/20 in the front and 20x9 with the 275/30/20 on the rear.

Also the offsets are a question, I cant remember what they are but I think they are 34mm and he says it needs to be in the low 20s.

Everyone please chime in with their 2 cents and let me know what I need to do!!! Thanks!!!!!

 

IMO..... Safe offset is around 25et front and rear and will clear fender and Brembos, mild aggressive offset low 20's ( 22et ) fender roll unlikely ( but may depend on wheel brand ), very aggressive high teens ( 17et ), may require some fender rolling ( may depend on brand ).

 

Running the same size tire all around, may wreak havoc on your VDC....

You should really run a 9.5" rim in the back. That's the optimum wheel width for a 275 tire. That's what I'm running. I'm running +25mm offsets on the front, and +20mm on the backs... No fender rolling necessary. At least with Work Rims anyways.

 

make sure to get the 245 in front and 275 in rear....the car drives so much nicer....it turns with ease

 

Here is a pic of another car with the same rims, it looks like his wheels are tucked a bit especially in the last pic. The rims are Foose Speedsters.
