19x9.5 +35 would be more where you want to be. the +30 will probably rub if full size tires and zero camber is used.

the 8.5 +35 will fit no problem what so ever.

+15 on 20x10 will not be a problem in front at all- fender work needed? It's not that aggressive, right?

Thanks again!
Yea you should be fine.

I can actually tuck in more if I put my toe links on and adjust for more camber. just using these til I finalize my track setup and street shoes.

Maybe I can get away with 11s in the rear, but nonetheless i don't mind the bulge since it'll be a track setup.
Not sure what you're asking me.

You are in dire need of camber IMO but judging from the pics you have another couple MMs of pull left.

with exactly same drop on both sides.
Car been written off/ had a front end replaced?

As I said above. But trust me you do NOT want to pull your fenders a half inch unless you're going aggressive.

It will poke, you'll need about -3 to -3.5 degrees of camber 245/35 and roll the rear fenders totally flat.

Coupe or sedan?

I've never had issues with Federals, they are a little noisy compared to the Toyos but for the price I doubt you'll complain.

As a matter of fact, yes, there was some front passenger side damage.
Took drivers side 25mm spacer off and left the passenger side on, and there is only 5-7mm difference between the two now....what could it be?

Here is alignment spec that I got...have no idea what I am looking at here exactly.

I need some clarification from the experienced. I'm getting new tires and the tires I chose actually run large. So the rears I'm getting are 245/35/20. Does running large mean the side walls are larger? Maybe a large 245/35 need to be a 235/35? Just want to be sure before I order.

help getting wheels

Please give me thoughts on my these wheel set up. i have a 07 g coupe base mod.
Im thinking about getting 20x8.5 +38 in the front and 20x10 +35 in the rears.
I have BC BR coilovers coming this week.
if i get those wheels what would be my best set up for tires. i want a flush look.
i dont want to use spaces or do a fender roll. i also heard about stretching the tires. would that kill the tires quicker? im on a budget and there don't got the extra $$$ for it. Please help me out with any suggestions. Thought about getting 19s too.

Wheels Noob

I am considering upgrading my wheels. The bone-head who sold me my car put 20"s on the back and 18"s on the front and I think it looks pretty whack. I recently purchased function & form type 2 coilovers and I am curious what you all think might be good choice for a new set of wheels? I do not want to spend over 2000$ for rims and tires and am considering doing 20" in the front and back. Can anyone tell me the pro's and cons of putting 20's on? or just more general information I appear to be lacking? Thanks!

19x10.5 (-9) on 245/35/19 (might get 235)
19x11.5 (-14) on 255/35/19

Is there any way to get these to fit on an coupe with minimal to no camber wear while having it look good? Seller said he has stock camber on front and about -2 degrees on the rear and has stock control arms.
I have SPC front A-arms and SPC rear control arms with rolled fenders.

If it'll work, what tires would you recommend using for the front?

shens on those camber specs.

you'd need a serious pull, a 235 on the 10.5, and some luck. jbf ran 10" -8 up front, 11 -4 in the rear. with the near 1" pull he had in the rear, ran -2.3* rear and -2.1 in the front. with those specs, you're talking another 16mm more aggressive in the rear, and another 7mm in the front.

for tires, I'd run something small, like blaine's uber recommended nankang ns-II.

pics of said set up on a coupe?

I'm pretty sure all my info is correct, but I'm sure blaine might have some stuff to tweak and/or add.

The for sale ad has pictures of them on his car.
More i think about it i think i should find something a bit less aggressive... so hard to find a good set of wheels at this time :/

Thanks for the fast response.

I believe Chris/Captain Supreme Sausage is selling a set that is slightly less aggressive. No fender work need to fit his - John has a serious pull/flare. Nothing against John, his set is sick, but I highly doubt he has his alignment specs accurate.

edit: throw in another $800, buy a custom set from RavSpec to your liking...just an 8-12 week wait. prolly how much time you'll wait trying to find the set you want.

Yeah i really wanted those but last i heard he isn't looking to ship yet. Also, i'll need spacers in the front to clear my oem brembos -.-
How big of spacer would i need to clear the brembos if i can convince him to ship them to me?

Edit: I'm assuming a 15mm spacer?

no idea to to do the math on that one - has to do with what disk the face has and the offsets. I'd guess somewhere 5-15mm. if you were able to get him to ship, you'd then have to try to get him to test fit on one of the other so cal guys' cars who have brembos.

like a said, ordering a custom set for ~$4100 is out of the picture?

Current camber is at -4 with a 19x10.5 ET -7. Going to run a 19x11 ET -4 w/245/35/19. #1: is that too much of a stretch to be a reliable tire? #2: Am I going to need a pull? 1/4"?
