i had 20x8.5 fronts with 40mm offset dropped 2 inches on H&R's that settled way down lol.

i ended up getting a 10mm spacer for the fronts and it looks like i could go another 10mm if i wanted to be real aggressive. but i am just gonna get a 15mm spacer and get a camber correction kit for the fronts. i think it will look good with the tire rim stood up(flushness)

i think you need atleast a 10mm front spacer. as far as the rears go, its gonna be CLOSE. i have 20x10 rears and they clear by only a few mm's when compressed up and into the housing. at ride height and cambered in almost 1.75* the tops of the rims are almost 1mm out.


also, if you get 275 or 285/30s rears, make sure to get at the MOST, 225/35's on the fronts. if you go wider than that, they wont have that stretched look to match the rears.

 

crap i just saw you have a camber kit rear. be ready to camber them in 2degrees to allow them to tuck in. if you want to prolong the life of the tires and keep camber the way its supposed to be, go 9.5" rears at 35-40mm offset

 

I'm pretty sure you could easily fit 20x10.5 +35 wheels in the rear with around -1.6* of camber with an H&R spring drop. That wouldn't eat your tires up too bad either.
So 20x10 +40 should fit fine with even less camber than that. Are you sure you're running almost 2* of camber in the rear Mike?

 

yea pretty sure thats what the paper said at the alignment place almost 1.5yrs years ago. im on the h&r drop, and they said they pulled the camber as far as it would go(i was on stock rims then) i think maybe 1.7 upfront and 1.2 out back.....i will try and find that paper.

look at some of my pics, those bad boys are leaned in front and rear---- i wear through the inside shoulders on the rears every 8k miles and 12k miles up front and have to swap sides to double their lifespans. the advice i needed from the offset guru is because of the flushness i am trying to get up front(i want it to match the rears-including tirestretch)

 

Interesting.
Maybe GP can chime in here and fill us in a bit.
I spoke to him a couple months back and he told me 20x9.5 +30 and 20x10.5 +35 rims would fit dropped on H&R springs with around -1.5* to -1.8* of camber, he said they'd be flush with no rubbing issues or crazy tire wear. Hopefully he can confirm this.

Any updates on the new rims Mike?

 

i never had any takers locally. so i take it as a sign and am gonna roll on them alil longer. i will be getting my uncles OB 03 g35 sedan soon, and i will just put the sevas on there.


i really wanna change the look of this one. i want an aggressive dark colored rim with out a lip. concave spokes is a must. kind of like the advan RZ's that heyitsalex had. i would like to take this car down the route of serious sports sedan. especially since i am considering a BIG power adder within a year.


sorry bout the thread jack also......its all your fault borna! PM me

 

Lol yeah sorry about the threadjack.
Don't listen to Mike, it's all his fault for modding his car the way he did

 

haha, I would prefer to not camber the tires in... I don't want my tires getting eaten up! Will 10.5s fit with no camber adjusted?

 

Yeah but you'd need a high offset. Something around +50 or +52.
That would make it similar to Terry's setup except half an inch wider.

 

If the rear is +40 offset in the rear, wouldn't +50 push it out past the fender?

 

The higher the offset the less they'll stick out.
So +40 sticks out more than +50, just as +30 would stick out more than +40.
That also means you get less lip or concave from them as the offset increases.
That's why everyone tries to put on rims with offsets less than +40.

 

Would a 20x10 with a 40offset be a little safer to put on? The fronts are going to be 20x8.5 w/ 40 offset (so I will just have to get spacers) The rears I can get either 20x10 or 20x10.5 with a 40 offset. Should I get the 20x10, seems like it would be safer and need less camber?

 

20x10 +40 would be the same setup that Mike (IvoryPearl07G) has.
As he said, he's running a bit of negative camber.
If you're looking for no camber wear and longevity of your tires I'd say go for either 10 +48 or 10.5 +52 in the rear and 8.5 +40 front. With those offsets you should be able to align the camber back into spec and have no camber wear at all.

 

thanks

 

I am going to say no. I think you would have to run 1.5+ degrees of negative camber. There is no way to fit a 10.5" wheel on the rear, regardless of offset, without running lots of negative camber. I am pretty sure BLUESLATE is running a 10.5" +37, so it can be done (I am also guessing he is running at least 1.8 degrees of negative camber).

My take is this.... A 9.5" wheel with a +37 to +40 sits pretty flush with the camber at factory specs on the rear. Your 10.5" +40 will sit out between 10-13mm further (almost a half inch). If you plan to run anything close to factory specs, there is no way the 10.5" +40 is going to look right.

I know this has been debated numerous times. You can make just about anything fit with enough stretching and camber. If that's your thing, there is nothing wrong with that. I think it looks cool, but I would not personally want to drive a car like that on a daily basis. If you want wheels that will look right at factory specs, you will have to use something close to the below. These are NOT aggressive.
Front:
8.5" w/ something around +35 (I would prefer +33 to +38)
9" w/ around a +41 (+39 to +44)
Rear:
9.5" w/around +40 (+38 to +43)
10" w/ around +46 (+44 to +49)
Along these lines, a 10.5" would have to be in the +52 offset range to sit flush at anything close to factory specs.

I know those with aggressive setups will disagree, but ran 1.8 degrees negative camber on my G35, and I chewed through tires pretty fast.
