alright guys...

i just pulled the trigger on a set of forgestar f14s in
20x9.5 +20 and 20x11 +15 with PSP in 265/35 and 305/30.

i´ve done a ton of research and you guys have helped me through a bunch of questions. so i feel relatively confident this will fit.

the plan is to run 2-2.5* camber front and 1.5-2* rear.

so final question. should i have gone more conservative on the offsets? particularly in the front?

I had exact same set up, but on 19"s and 255 in front. I ran 1.5 in front and 2 in the rear to give kind of an idea. I'll try and find my alignment print out for you!

much appreciated. my primary concern is the added diameter from going 20"

it´s a 27.3" diameter on the 20" wheel vs 26.3" on the 19"

i´d still love to see your alignment specs.

You should be ok with that much negative camber on a 27" wheel...it will lean in roughly 10mm per degree negative from 0 & same going positive.
my base 11' is stock & has -1.0,,,treadwear even across; but i don't track it.
So i couldn't use the +20 9.5's,,,would be closer to +30 for me.
Plan to run -1.0 in rear w/325's on 11",,,so that's gonna be close to +25 or a tad more.

thanks man. you are always johny on the spot with responses.

i am going to go ahead and back off to +25. it makes me feel better and like i will have more flex the cambers i can run.

i was doing some trig and crunching numbers on a 27" tire face. i got about 12mm per degree of camber.

worse comes to worse i can always throw a 3 or 5mm spacer on there.

you think it´s a mistake to back off to +25?
