I suck at wheel and tire sizes
I suck at wheel and tire sizes
Okay so I'm totally lost and new to this world as I've never purchased wheels or tires before.
I have an 03 Coupe 5AT dropped on Eibach Pro Kit's.
I'm going to be purchasing some staggered 20" TSW Cadwells. They're 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the back.
I was also thinking of getting the Nitto NT555's for tires.
What tire size would I need? I know nothing about tires.
Also, the place I was looking at purchasing them from says that if I get the staggered fitment that the rear wheels will stick out way too far and may cause damage to the fenders or something. Is this true or does this person just not know what they're talking about?
Will I need to get fenders rolled, etc. in order to fit these wheels?
Thanks.
Edit: They are suggesting 235/35/20 in the front and 255/35/20 in the rear.

Thanks for the advice. What difference is this going to make exactly? Just a little bit of a wider tire to fit the wheel and not quite as tall?

The 235's are a bit shorter than normal and probably won't have the correct diameter to keep everything working in harmony. They will be a tad wider/taller than what you have in the opening post.
Ahh okay that makes sense. Now will I have a lot of issues with the combo being too tall since my car is lowered? I'm assuming I will have to get some fender work done, but will this all fit?
Excellent, thanks a bunch. I guess I'll just try it and see what happens!
First off if your going to order the wheels order the cadwell front in a +20, your stock wheels are a +30 you want to drop the offset not raise it. Is there a specific reason you want 20's on your car and not 19's, Putting 19's is much easier to deal with.

I want the 20's because I like the way they look. I'm sure 19's are easier to deal with but there are plenty of people that ride with 20's. I'll find a way to make it work.
