its not that the oem wheels are bad or anything but the reason people dont stretch them is because of the terrible offset they have an 8 +30 does not require any kind of stretching, it could be even aftermarket wheels that have bad offsets as well


and yes you WILL need spacers, what you will need to do is roll your fenders but stretching your tires is not the option at the moment, i have oem 19s on my coupe right now and am pretty low, but no need to stretch my tires, just fender roll

but yah its not subjective, people dont stretch oem wheels because when lowered the car with the oem offsets will not need to be stretched, so dont worry about that now just a fender roll + spacers

Camber it, or run a smaller tire!
Are your fenders rolled?

you can fit that easy!
like shane said roll the fenders and add some neg camber
whats the offsets?

if your uncomfortable running too much negative camber run smaller tires

Ahhh thanks.

I was planning on upgrading to 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 SSR Sp1's. What do u guys recommend for a mildly aggressive setup that will fit my akebonos? I pretty much want the fattest lips possible. I would love to stick to wider tire sizes if possible, as I'm not looking to go full-on hellaflush.I want to run maybe minimum 225 fronts, and minimum 265 rears. I really want to make sure before I make an order and want to hear your opinions.

Here's the wheel chart for reference:
