Help me with Wheel Size!

karbosshack · 02-27-2006, 04:15 PM

Alright, I'm goin with 20's. Anybody got a suggestion on what tire size to get? Gallo I sent you a PM cause you seem to know what you're talkin about, thanks a lot!! Should I still go with the +20mm offset? If I do, will I still need spacers?

Does anybody think 245/40/18 will rub?

ahhhh!! I keep changing my mind back and forth. I've (final answer) decided with 20's. It was a matter of cheaping out the extra 500 bucks for 20's. I'm gonna do it, it's worth it.

235/35/20 is what NatureBoy has got. I think that's what I will go with.

karbosshack · 02-27-2006, 08:27 PM

So what offsets do I go with for a 20x8.5 rim all around? And what spacers for front and/or rear?

ctgazer · 02-27-2006, 08:41 PM

yah..ive gone with 235/35/20 (f) and 275/30/20 (r). offsets are 45 (f) and 40 (r). playing it safe cause you could always use spacers. should have mine in about 2 weeks. yay for the chrome lovers cause its gonna be shiny

karbosshack · 02-27-2006, 08:56 PM

Das what I'm talkin about!! Chrome all the way! You have to show me some pictures when you gett'er done! Is a lower offset wheel pushed further in?

Nature boy went with 40 all the way around. Which will stick out more, 40 or 45?

ctgazer · 02-27-2006, 10:22 PM

40's will stick out more..the bigger the number, the more set into the wheel well. i'd go 40 for fronts, but they only make 25 or 45(f) and 18 or 40 (r)..

karbosshack · 02-27-2006, 10:25 PM

ooooooo. thanks ct! 40's it is!
