Would these 20s fit?
Hey all, I'm interrested in getting these 20s for the coupe with Brembos.
They come in 20X9 or 20X10 and the lip is 2.25"
What sizes do ya'll recommend?
Do you think they'll clear the brembos?

Re: Would these 20s fit?
That's my biggest concern right now :-)
I actually just checked Axis' site and the
20X9 have a 3.25" lip while the
20X10 have a 4" lip
Do you think they will stick out too much? How about rubbing issues?
I want to be 100% sure they fit before I order these. Since I'm in Canada, it would be a bitch to send them back.

Re: Would these 20s fit?
I luv those wheels! But in my opinion, they would look a little better on a Z than on a G. It has that slight racer/tuner look, but it should look ok on a G. I've seen these on many pictures of the fixed up Z's in the import magazines. 9 on the front and 10 on the rear should be perfect, I seriously doubt it will rub. You have to worry about the front, the back can go up to 12. Not sure about the brembo's though.......Just go with this setup and you should be good to go:
245/35/20 front 9
275/35/20 rear 10 or 285/30/20
Post pics after you get them....... good luck.

Re: Would these 20s fit?
KKH, thanks, I was hoping you would reply. If anyone would know about 20s, it would be you!
Do you happen to know if speed is measured at the rear or at the front? I wouldn't mind having 35 in the rear because roads here are shitty. However:
275/35 would cause 3.364% speedo error
285/30 would cause 0.192% speedo error
Big difference IMO.
The front at 245/35 would also give me 3% error.
Am I just being really picky about this or it doesn't really matter? This will be my first experience with 20s, so I really appreciate the help.
I'm using the following

Re: Would these 20s fit?
You are being picky with that. You'll be fine w/ the speedometer man..... if not, you can always get it recalibrated. And people say the mileage is different as well. It freaking was for me. I drove exactly 11.1 miles to work every single day and parked in the same spot. That is with the OEM 17's, now with the 20's its still 11.1 miles.....no joke. So not sure what the heck everyone is talking about. Speedometer isn't a big deal man...... good luck

Re: Would these 20s fit?
Would you even notice a difference? Like with his ~.2% change. In 11.1 miles that would be about 117 feet difference. With the odometer having .1 mile resolution, or about 528 feet, I would not think you would ever see a difference. Same with the speedo, if it is off .2%, then at 60 you would be doing 59.88 or 60.12, and how could you tell.

Re: Would these 20s fit?
BSC,
I agree that a 0.2% difference isn't a big deal, but if the speedo is consistantly reading 3% off, and since I am in KM not miles, my readings would consistantly be off by almost 5km/hr.
Not only is this going to be very annoying, but since I am leasing, I would be putting unneccessary milage on the car.
It looks like I would definitely have to go with 35 series tires. The roads here are just terrible, I would bend the rims in a second if I got 30 instead.
