Question about rim size
 
i was thinking of changing either to 18" or 20" but i cant figure out what offset wheels to look for. i want a thick tire set up like 305 in the rear and 275 in the front. i know if i go 18 it would be possible but i dont know if i can find any rim that will clear the sport package brakes. what offset do i need to get the 18s? and if i get 20s will i be able to fit 275/305's. i know 20s would clear the brakes no problem but what offset do i need for it. also i dont want to use spacers and i dont want to sacrifice handling. would it make my life easier if i went with 20s? i think i wouldnt sacrifice the handling because i would be able to get something with almost the same offset if not the same.

Yes you can fit 275/305 on 20's. Here's a picture of my setup. Currently I'm running 255/30/20 F and 295/25/20 R. These were the only tires available at Nitto at the time. But I will be running 275/30/20 F and 305/25/20 R as they become available. :tup:

Do you mean 295 rear? I can't see a 305 and a 395 fitting on the same rim. Not even sure if 395 exists...

did you check with the dealer to see if its ok to run that set up? if anything happens to the suspension of your car are you covered?
