Is the car lowered? Have you rolled the fenders? Are you willing to?

not lowered, not doing any body work, just wanted to powder coat a set of 19's and call it good.

20s and 25s. If you do the 30s out back I'd roll the fenders.

Please excuse the stupid questions, what do you mean by roll the fenders?

The hard right angle lip that is on the rear fenders, you use a tool that squishes that flat, so that the hard edge of the fender won't cut into the tire.

Go out to your car and feel the inside of the fender, that is what gets flattened/rolled. Thus creating more clearance from fender to tire.

LMK where you're from and I can most likely hook you up with a local fender roller.

I have a tire size dilemma.

I can't decide what size sidewall would be best. I'm gonna run 225/245 on 9.5/10.5 respectively, and can't decide on either 35 or 40 size. I'm torn, bc to me there seems to be little to no difference between the two.

Ok I have a question but here's the info first: wheels are 20x9.5 -8 A-disk Front, 20x10.5 -8 O-disk rear and Im on eibach suspension and don't plan on going lower

My question is can I run these with a biger tire aka no strech?

Local has same wheels only +14 offests and he has a 285/30/20 on the rear dropped on Tien s techs I would like meaty tires like that too but maybe a little smaller since I don't have the same room he does
Thanks in advance for C&C

There is an inch difference in overall diameter from 35 to 40 sidewall. What size wheel is it? 19?

No, you're gonna need some stretch for those specs if you run full size tires, no stretch at all, You'll need about -6 degrees of camber or it'll poke out and look retarded. I suggest new wheels.

Is there any size tire i could run on them and not have any unsightly gap (tire to fender) there are 225/35/20 on the fronts already and that would leave a big gap

Or would i still need tons of camber, thanks for the responce

In all honesty, what you're requesting is what coilovers are for.

Buy coilovers, to make these fit correctly. You could maybe run a 255/35 out back and 235/35 in the front and a hint of camber and pulled fenders.

Sigh... I see... well that stinks I could have gotten a nice deal on great wheels guess Ill wait for one with a low positive offset

Best offset if you want to run full size tires and zero camber is roughly 9.5/10.5 +12

+12 can fit with full size tires, zero camber and just a roll with zero rubbing what so ever. +12 is also a very common offset for those widths.

Keep looking, you'll find something!

Yeah exactly, though my budget is 3k for wheels so I can't have what I want brand new unless there's a group buy or I find them used in great shape

If you guys know of any 20" step lip or concave wheels in a silver finish let me know!
