Just ordered some 20's, need some info.

Well I just ordered some 20 inch wheels from a member on here and they have a +32 offset on the front and a +35 on the rear and I know they are not the most aggressive but I wanted them to look really bad-a__. Im in no way a wheel expert, more so completely clueless.

What can I do to make them flush with the fenders? I think that is what offset refers to, lol. Would spacers do this or am I completely wrong with my thinking?

rims are 20X8.5 front w/ 245/35/r20 and the rear is 265/35/r20 with a 9.5 wide wheel.


help!

if this is for the coupe...you can use 15mm spacers front and rear. Also change your tires in the rear to 275/30/20. they will be flushed with the fenders and no need to roll them.

I suppose you just bought the Sterns from that guy in Austin?
If so, I almost bought those same wheels from the guy that was selling them before in Houston. I have a coupe and we test fit them and they fit pretty well and they really only need probably a 10mm spacer a 15 might not be to bad. They did look nice on the coupe.

Makes more sense to ask before buying. Hopefully he gets the right results without spending too much.

I searched and new that they fit because another couple guys had that setup on their coupes. I also wanted to jump on them fast because they were a very nice wheel and in a price range I could afford.

Thanks for the info you guys, I guess Ill go ahead and order some 15mm spacers when I get some extra cash. And yes I did order the stern wheels, glad to hear they fit well

I couldnt really find any pics of them on coupes though, and yes roblo I did use the search Im so excited! wooohoo new wheels
