Needing to know soon... Wheel/tire fitment

solteroblues · 10-11-2016, 07:41 AM

I posted this in the will it fit thread but no one has responded, thought maybe I'd post here. I hope to order today...

I'm planning on some 20x9 F and 20x10.5 R both with +15 offsets. Stock suspension setup... Will they fit and What size tires should I go with? Or do I need a different front offset?

Thanks for responding, but unless I missed it, I don't see exactly what you're referring to... I don't see any 20x9, 20x10.5 with +15 on that page, at least not without springs...

khern11 · 10-11-2016, 09:44 AM

The front will be more aggressive than the rear but they will fit. It wont look too good with stock suspension though. Tire size depends on personal preference, if you like stretched or meaty tires.
This car has 20x9 +15 and 20x10.5 +10. 245/35/20 285/30/20 on H&R springs

solteroblues · 10-11-2016, 10:08 AM

thank you! That is exactly what I wanted to see! haha

When using the online wheel spacing calculators that I've found, it was telling me that the fronts would poke about 41 mm more than stock, which sounds way too much, but those don't look like they're sticking out too much...

khern11 · 10-11-2016, 10:23 AM

There are more pictures on velgen's site, go take a look. Since your car is stock height, the wheels may look like they're popping out a bit more cause the tire will not be tucked under the fender.

solteroblues · 10-11-2016, 10:47 AM

where do you see what offset and ride height specs for their website? I found that gallery, but all it says are that the wheels are 20x9 and 20x10.5

Those are pictures of my car.

cooltoy · 10-11-2016, 06:05 PM

And you should know.

solteroblues · 10-13-2016, 07:44 PM

so do you think you would have rubbed if you didn't have the springs installed?

khern11 · 10-14-2016, 03:10 PM

No.

The trajectory of the wheels as they go up and down over bumps remains the same even if you lower the car. So lets say I lifted my car 1.5" or so with a jack, it should look similar to what your car would look like.

jchammond · 10-14-2016, 03:42 PM

9"+15 is gonna poke,,,with 1/2" difference in wheel width's-you're gonna need +6 or 7 more up front to flush.
2" difference in wheel width's carry the same offset.

jchammond · 10-14-2016, 03:48 PM

unless you gonna stretch tires or run more than factory -camber

If you drive a base; take the rear wheel off & put it on the front,,,it's a +15 18x9
it will poke out 1.6" further than the base 18x8+43's
