So what should I be running to get some meat under the car?

with that kinda offset your not gonna get very meaty under there or your gonna have to pull the fenders.
20x10 + 30 lowered should allow you a 275-295 depending on camber. I ran a +27 with oem camber, lowered .5" and a 275 and i could have fit a 285.

20x12 + 20 with a 325 tire. OEm camber, again lowered .5". Couldnt have gone wider in the rear.

With your offsets your looking at a 255 front and 305 rear... which you could just add on your OEM sport wheels. or adding alot more camber.

Yeah i think he meant 275/35 & 305/30.

[dirTy_shoeZ]

I think they're both 30 series. I don't think they have a 275/35 either, would be a bit taller than the 305 30 also

[edconline]

My bad. Both are 30 profile. The 275/35 would have been better for the front however bridgestone have discontinued that one.

So what you're saying is to probably sell these and get something with a more conservative offset if I don't want to run stretched

if you dont want stretched and want something meatier.

also to the guy looking at the RE-11's. Check to see if the Advan AD08's come in the right profiles.

So I'm curious if I went with a spring set up or *cringe* left her stock height what would I be able to go to? I don't mind that they would "poke" but then again I grew up on muscle cars.. I love the wheels and to get a more conservative offset would cost me a fortune to replicate the wheels I have

You won't mind poke? But why you selling your wheels then?

The wheels you have now must stick out like crazy or you have -3 or -4 camber.

The set up I have now I do not believe was intended to be a daily driver set up.. And the FS thread is to gauge interest in them. I want meatier tires and from what I'm hearing that won't be possible even with a mild drop

[Xplicit97]

Also to answer your question I was running around -4 camber and found it annoying and impractical.. But it looked sick, however there's no point in having a wide wheel if only half or less of that wheel are going to make contact with the pavement

That sucks.

Ad08's don't go over an 18".

ad08 has a 305/30/19 and a 275/35/19...

So yes... they do.

[sfearl1]

I'm kind of in the same boat, except my offsets aren't nearly as aggressive. Idk if I should get a dedicated backup set or say screw it and slap some meaty(er) tires on my 20" SP3's...

Wow, what kind of driving do you do on your 20's?
