Wheel help please

i plan on buying these with tires


The Stance EVOLUTION
Machine Silver w/Chrome lip

Sedan application:
20 8.5 F and 20 10.0 R
offsets 35 F and 38 R


235-35-20 F and 255-35-20 R

Also, planning to purchase megan coilovers and dropping my g 1. 6"

my question is, besides rolling the rear fenders, do i need to purchase a rear camber kit?

Opinions on how these will look on my sedan

Yes. Front and rear especially running 20 inch tires....it gets expensive when you start going through tires every few months bc of uneven tire wear... I think theyd look good but you should go with 19s especially for coilovers!

IMO, I dont really like those rims. I dont really like a lot of spokes.
I like these http://bit.ly/zknxof.
Simple Hyperblack rims with 5 or 6 spokes. I think it looks much cleaner.

The front should work, but the rear is a bit aggressive compared to what we tested out. With a 19x8.5 +35mm rear it was fairly flush, so that would be poking out a bit more than we tried out.

I think a camber kit would be wise, but many people often associate bald tires with camber. If your toe is in good shape your tires will last a while, even with a decent amount of camber. If you can rotate or flip your tires it'll help you get the most out of them as well.

Hmmm I have a different viewpoint on offsets. A 19X8.5 +35 should be a little sunken in and not flush with the fender both F/R. I'm running the 8.5 +23 (225/40/19) up front and a 9.5 +33 (245/40/19) in the rear and I'm perfectly flush with camber and toe both in factory spec.

Thanks man and yes I am. I'm dropped ~ 3" so they were absolutely necessary to get my alignment settings back to stock. I have the SPL front A arms and Stillen rear camber arms.

Rolling the fenders is really easy if you have a fender roller and a heat gun. We have a shop here that rents theirs out fairly cheaply, just make sure the fender's very warm (but not hot enough to melt the clear and/or the paint) to the touch so the paint softens a bit and go very slowly in stages.

Other people on Driver have used phone books, PVC pipe, and baseball bats to do theirs but I wasn't brave enough to try one of those methods.

Blue Dream - Are your fenders rolled at all? The car we tested was lowered a tad and had stock fenders.

They are rolled and flattened. I have less than 2 mm clearance between the sidewall and fender as well.
