Looks fantastic! I have been waiting for someone to post pics with this setup. I really want to run these wheels with the 10.5s up front, but I am a little concerned of what that might mean. I know you mentioned rubbing over big bumps, but are you able to turn the front wheels all the way w/o rubbing? Do you think you will need to make any adjustments to your camber as well? Thanks!

First. You could stretch a 245/35 up front and probably be completely fine even being as low as I am up front.

Or you could just not be quite as low as I am up front and you'd still probably fine with the 255/35/20

Right now it barely rubs at about a quarter turn left or right. And rubs slightly on big bumps.

I can go full lock to lock and it will only rub at a slight turn. After you go past that it doesn't rub.

Like I said I just plan on pulling my fenders a little bit and I should be good to go.

i'm no expert at this, but i assume the additional camber should help.

I'm running the same set up but with 23mm spacers up front an 25 rear, and lowered on bc coilovers with fronts fenders pulled and rears flat. I have 245/35/20 all around. I don't rub on full turns unless I hit bumps, The only problem is that I rub the bumper bracket on big bumps because of the drop. I plan on running 225/30/20 up front to help.

Here the post with pics, hope I helped

LOL. Thanks man i love the murder out look. I like the plate better then the white and blue, kinda match my brembos lol.

The 8.5 is such a weak lip, i had to go with the 10.5 up front. Just save up and get them, and keep the 8.5 as a spare or try to sell it.

I bet you dont miss the roads lol

lol yea, there are a lot of things i don't miss about NY, but it certainly is home to me... the roads and the 12 hour "rush hour" traffic i don't miss either..

but yea, the 8.5 is really weak... only problem with converting to 10.5 now is that the tires i have up front are 245/35/20 and the rears are 275/30/20... its a bit of a mismatch, though i suppose stretching the 245/35 on a 10.5 would almost equal out.. i definitely need some spacers too, but i need to roll the fenders first..

you deff need spacers. 18mm or more if you have the brembos, 15s wont clear.
yea i got 245/35/20 all around.major stretch to make the wheel fit with the drop. Im ganna throw 225/30/20 on and see how they are. ill show you some pics of it when i get them on. yea roll your rears and front flat and remove the fender screws when you do it. Check the FS for spacers.

I should be picking these wheels up tomorrow, or in the next 2-3 days, I met up with the guy but his spare wheels/tires were being used so we couldn't swap today.

They are XXR 521 20x10.5 all around, 235/35 tires all around with 10mm spacer up front.

Yes I know my whip is stock height, but ill be dropping it an inch soon (only had it 4 months), I can't drop it much because of the steep driveways around here and work.

Here is his ride, sits HELLA FLUSH with 2 people in it, with 4 full grown dudes (sausage fest) you can't even fit 1 finger between the tire and wheel well.
