My rears are
20x10.5 +25 (with 20mm spacers) 275/30/20 i rolled the **** outta my rear fenders even pulled with lil metal rod for more clearance but didnt budge lol next step ill be going down to 245 or 255/35/20 for some stretch.
fronts are
20x9.5 +30 ( threw on 5mm spacer for now cause i was smackin up control arms) gotta pick up 10-15mm then i can lower the front back down some more.

Driver side doesnt rub at all. But passenger rear has less natural camber even slammed on coils.

I can get you rear measurements tomorrow. But fronts are not official lol.

The rims came with shitty nankang tires. Even not stretch they are the worst tires ive driven on. Might be a good reason to stretch new tires.

Nankangs are amazing

These wheels are way weaker than your last.

Nankangs are terrible compared to toyos bro. Stretched toyos rode alot better then non stretched nankangs.
I know theyre weaker, but thats cause tires are wider lol. If i stretch tires, i'll go with wider spacers.

You're talking about ride comfort? C'mon you're slammed and on 20s.

I don't give a **** how they ride, they need to stretch and not bubble up or blow out. I'd rather buy my 3 sets of nankangs for the same price as 1 set of toyos. Get on your 2nd or 3rd set of tires in a season then tell me nankangs aren't the **** lol


BTW, add a spacer up front.

Lmfao. Im on stiffest on BC coils. with 12k front n rear lol. Not talking about bumps n **** just road noise... But ima check on my Axle. Might need a new one, I ripped the rubber awhile ago.
I dont change tires, I change rims brah lol. this is my 11th set. lol

If u read up their I said spacers. But Im lookin for someone with a roller local to me, If I can slightly pull the fronts Ima try rocking 15mm rather then 10mm. cause 10mms hard to find with studs built in.
