I got a good price on them with the discount that discount tires has right now on their ebay store. Wheels and tires are being delivered tomorrow, just in time to get them installed before my car goes in on Tuesday for the new supercharger tune.

I test fit my wheels and tires today. 20x10 +22 front and 20x11 +28 rear with 255/35 front and 305/30 rear. Car is in the shop getting the supercharger installed. There are a bunch of parts off the car including trans (new clutch). Car is up on 4 post lift. We set the car on the ground and the rear is fine, tires are a little tucked in the wheel wells but I have about a half inch of poke outside of the wheel wells on the front. I know the suspension isn't settled and if the camber will change any when settled. I'm currently set at -1.4 camber front. I'm wondering if I need to run more negative camber or if I need to go to a 9" wheel and or a different offset.

Do you think I'm ok without them though, or would it be wise just to get some 5mm spacers?

Camber will solve everything. And again, no reason to flip out when the car is in the air

And AGAIN, I'm running 20x11 +15 front with a 275/30 at around -3 camber, with top of the tire under the fender

U may need more camber, but not much

If for some reason u are still u easy:
Nismo rear is 19x10.5 +23 and people run that in front no problem

Thanks for the reassurance.It should be on the ground with all parts back on tomorrow, I'll see what it looks like with the suspension settled and go from there. Thanks again. I'm planning on getting it re-aligned and corner balanced. Maybe go to -2?

I really like the gram lights 57DR but I’m not sure whether they’ll fit or not.
Sizing I’m interested in is 18x9.5 +22 front and 18x10.5 +12 rear. I have the base brakes but I’m just not certain if they’ll clear even the base brakes do to the concave faces. Any guidance would be helpful.

Considering the stock size is 18x8 +43 front and 18x9 +15 rear, they should definitely clear your brakes. You won't have to worry about rubbing issues either as that setup is not that aggressive

Hey! Those wheels will even clear Akebono Sport brakes. So they will fit your base brakes just fine, no problems at all. We have these in stock and on sale if interested!
