Have a Question/s About Wheels/Tires/Offsets/Camber/Etc? Ask here::
Here is what I am thinking about getting:
Front Wheel Size (include offset): 20x9+20
Rear Wheel Size (include offset): 20x10+25
Front Tire Size: 245/35/20
Rear Tire Size: 275/30/20
Front and rear spacer size: You'll probably want some
Suspension type: Lower it
Alignment info: None
Fender roll required: Roll the fenders anyways, but not not required.
Other questions:
- Will I need to drop my car for it to look right or will stock suspension look ok? If a drop is recommended, any specific brand recommended?
No drop will look stupid with wheels, lower the car.
- Will the tize size listed above have be stretched on the wheels size
No
- Will tires rub with this size? Will I need to roll fenders?
No
- I have also had problems with the inside of my stock front tires prematurely wearing with the stock alignment. Any alignment recommendations to avoid the premature wear?
Get aligned by people that know what they're doing. These cars are known for tire wear problems. It isn't an economic car so you will have to deal with some things like that.
- Any opinions on going with 20s versus 19s?
Ride is shittier on 20s
- Any tire brand recommendations that are that will last long and arent too expensive?

Hmmm..I'll need to find somebody in the Pittsburgh area with a roller or a shop that can roll them. I don't know as much as I would like about wheels fitment and offset. Your help is greatly appreciated.
I know you said I would be able to do this but how much do you think the wheel swap will drop me?
Take the overall diameter of the 19's (say 26.5") as your baseline then take the overall diameter of the 17's (say 26.0") then devide the difference in half and that = your change in ride height. For this example your car would sit 1/4" lower.

Any help with the wheel offsets/specs? Will the wheel spec I listed achieve a staggered look, concave, and a lip in the rear wheels (specific to Vertini Magic)?
That's a question for the wheel company. (the concavity and lip size)
As for the specs, roll the fenders and throw a 15mm spacer on the back and 10mm on the front.
I noticed they have an 11" rear wheel, why not go for that? figure out the offset on the 11"

I'm currently looking at a set of XXR 522's.
Just a bit iffy on the setup for the rears.
19x8.5 +15 Front
19x10 +20 Rears
What would be the best tyre size for those rims as I'm also planning on dropping the ride either on H-Techs / S-techs. Would like to avoid rolling my rear guards as much as possible.

Roll your fenders or don't even ask about what the best set up is, because the answer is there is none. Roll the fender or don't bother.
Roll the fenders and add a 15mm spacer in the back and a 10mm in the front and you should be happy.

Wow. This thread is perfect.
my question is:
I am purchasing 20" XXR 521 black with chrome step lip. Im going 10.5 " on tire width all the way around. I to plan on lowering the car as well. I am looking for somewhat of a flush look. Any ideas on tire size for front and rear?
