I'm running 245/35 front and 275/30 rear.. the 245/35 in the front isnt a stretch fit at all with the rim, but the 275/30 on the rear stretches quite a bit.. im running falken fk 452 in the rear, which i hear runs smaller than most of the other tires in the same size.. i could definitely go wider in the rears, but for my fronts, i might go smaller for my next set... the stretch in the rear and meaty fitment in the front definitely stands out and makes my rear tires look tiny in comparison..
Then again, it depends on what size spacers I get.. I may keep the rears the same size if i can fit a bigger spacer back there to push the wheel out more.. but the fronts will definitely have to get smaller for me to really push them out.

I will get some pictures up this weekend once i wash up the car and what not.. or at least try..


btw Leoverte, the car looks nice.. what size spacers are you using? I need to get some spacers for my wheels so i can push them out a bit...


thanks screw for the look out....im using 25mm all around...and the gun metal def was a nice color match for the black...i like it man,,,but yeah, in order to even make the front look some flush you are gona have to be at least at 20mm to 25mm i think screw. yeah i kinda wish that i had 10.5 all around too, but once i painted my wheels, the contrast in the two colors makes the front lip now appear bigger.....dude, your falken tires in the back are 275?!?!?! wtf,,, that is a skinny **** 275....that is how my 255 in the rear looks...then again im running a cheap tires since i switch rims 24/7....lol.....

Thanks, I figured a lot of people do the black with polished lip.. I hadnt seen anyone run gun metal, so i figured i'd give the gun metal a go..

lol, yea that 275 is tiny for some reason.. i mentioned in my previous post that I read somewhere the Falken FK452 run smaller than most other tire companies in the same size.. if i stick with the same tires, i could probably fit 295 back there and still run spacers no problem..

I'm wondering if the tires im running in the front will pose any issues with pushing the wheels out with the spacers since its not a stretch at all.. what size are you running in the fronts?

yeah man, tht rears looks excatly like my rear tire and im on a 255/35...if 452's run that small you can def go up no probs..my front is a 225/35, with very mild if any, stretch, on it....and i have no rub issues and my stance is decently low. i have less than a finger width fender gap, if that, up front, and around the same amount in the rear.

Got it thanks. Those 275/30s looks look pretty thin. I'd like to see what a 275 in a different brand looks like on the same wheels

hey i just got my 521s so i though id share it here

I finally got rid of my chrome wheels that were on the car when I bought it.
20x8.5/10.5 +33/+30
tires are 225/35 and 255/35

this is with 3.5* of camber in the rear on Tein H techs


I ordered a 25mm spacer for the front, they are +33 so they will be +8 after the spacer



I went to 3.8* of camber because the edge of the lip was rubbing when i had a full car, plus i threw on a set of those rubber coil spring spacers to help out when the car is loaded. None of my friends have a 4 door car so when we all go out I'm always driving lol

Next on my list is some coil overs and front camber arms

Also when my car was up on the alignment rack i got underneath to check it out and found this

apparently its becomming more and more common issue so you might want to check out your car
so i ordered some whiteline poly replacements
