Have anyone try running 20x11 in front coupe?

I always wonder if you can actually do this with 20x11 15 offset in the front with full turn lock to lock without rubbing. The wheel I want to get they have 20x9 15 offset but thats kinda weak and probably need spacer to have the flush look in front. So maybe I was thinking getting a set of 4 of 20x11 15offset. Pictures would be helpful if you have the same specs or similar. Thanks

That's kinda wide for the front.. I'd get the others and space them out..

It will handle like a bag of ***** if you run 11" square.

Just get the 9 and run a 20mm spacer or 25mm spacer.

Why not buy them in the correct width and offset to begin with. There are zero benefits to running that wide of a front wheel.

I guess spacer in the front is the way to go then. I have 25mm spacer all around right now but the cars steering wheel does shake a lil bit when im on freeway so im trying to eliminate the use of spacer as much as possible

you do not need have that wide of a wheel to have big lips if that is what you are trying to do. I have 5" lips on my front wheels for a widebody, and even then I only run 10.5 fronts.

I guess technically you could run 11" front rims, but you would have to get your specs right or I am sure you would rub.

What kind of spacers? I would go that route, far better than going oversized up front just because.

Listen to Danny, he knows wheels better than most on this site.

I was going to do 20x9 in front but idk why but I always run into vibrating problem whenever I use spacers, or could it be the spacers themselves? Never had vibration problem before without spacers

Dude thats not a problem or would it give me headache if they have 9.5. They only have 20x9 and 20x11 both with 15 offset, its not custom wheels where i can just pick my own size lol

I run 19x10.5 up front, I would say 10" up front would be ideal unless you're going for poke & stretch. Trying to fit 11" inside the factory fenders is going to be very very tight.
