Wheel and Tire size, will these fit?

Z11 · 03-04-2013, 07:37 PM

i was thinking of getting 20 inch rims, (front) 245/35/20, (rear) 275/30/20. everything is stock on my car and with the original sport akebono brakes, will that wheel and tire size fit without the purchase of any additional items?

thanks ahead for your comments !

It all depends on the size and offset of your wheel... I am running a 255/35/20 up front on a 20x9 wheel with a 38mm offset. I just installed my Akebono brake kit and had to get a 7mm spacer.. In the rear I run a 275/30/20 on a 20x10.5 wheel with 42mm offset and it cleared no problem... So it's not so much the tire size... But the offset of your wheel... I have the Vossen CV1 wheels...

The offset is the number that clears the wheel from touching the caliper right? So the offset would depend on the type of wheel? I just want to install whatever wheel I choose without spacers or anything else. Shouldn't the shop selling the wheel know which offset should do?

A reputable shop would know... A mom and pop shop might have better prices... But might not be as knowledgeable... My advice is go to different shops.. And ask before you make an online purchase...
