Tire Sizing for aggressive 20's with Eibach drop
 
Just want some info from the guys that are running agressive fitments on their sedans...

Looking into new rims with the following sizes;
Front: 20x8.5 +33
Rear: 20x10.5 + 30

I am currently running some MMR 19's with an Eibach drop. I only put about 4k miles a year on my car so I am not worried about running a little extra camber. My current camber settings are;
Front: -1.8
Rear: -2.0

What's the tire size I should go with? A little stretch is ok for me.

FWIW, looking at my photos from this thread. You may need to stretch the rears quite a bit and/or add more camber.

My rears are rubbing with 285/30's on +45 10.5" wheels with -2ish camber. The fronts are 245/35 +24 and fits just fine IMHO.

You think a 275 rear with a tiny bit more camber would work?

I'm running a 275 on a 10.5" wheel with a +38mm offset and I don't see how a 275 tire could be ran on a +30 wheel without a decent amount of camber.

You can comfortably run a 245/35 on the fronts WITH a 15mm spacer and it should bring the wheel right to the fender. For a more aggressive fitment, you can run a 20mm spacer and run a 225/35 tire. Depending on how aggressive you'd like the set-up, you can even go with a 25mm spacer but thats up to you.

Now on to the rears, for a 10.5 wheel with a +30 offset you will need quite a stretch. I would say something like a 255 tire.

I'm not sure what look you are going for but the rears are quite aggressive compared to the fronts.

Will the extra 8mm of offset be too much you think? What camber settings are you running in the rear? I can also run a Toyo tire to help as well as dialing my camber into the high -2's.

This is a comparison with what I have currently and with the new wheels and 275/30/20 tires.

I was recently thinking about going an extra 5mm and going from 275/30 to 255/35. That would be at +33mm and I was expecting to camber the rears even more.

I'll try to post a good pic of my set-up when I get home from work later!

I've seen 255's on a 10.5 and it looks too stretched for me. I would do a 265 if I could make it work

Here is a 1st gen sedan running the same setup but he had to camber the rear to -3.5. Will the 2nd gen sedan have to run that much camber.
