We need offsets before we can determine if its going to rub. When I had 20s on my car I ran 275/30/20 (offset 15) on the rears with 1 inch drop and I rubbed on bumps and hard turns.

it probably will in the rear, if you want it to look it it will rub in the rear till the fenders are rolled.

need wheel specs first he could have 9.5 inch wheel with 30-40's offset which will obviously require much less than if hes running a 10.5 inch wheel with 15-20mm offset

Not to mention this will probably cause VDC/TCS issues.

BTW how the F' does this belong in the new owners section?!?!?!

hey people not sure if this is where this question belongs but i am in the market for wheels i grew fond of the hp design wheels especially the takeover 2s.. they offer a 20X10 and 20x8.5 ive seen the 20x8.5 and there is no lip on that thing i wanted to go with 19x9.5 for the fronts but there unavaliable till later this year.. and i was wondering of 20x10 would fit all around front and back... i know it depends on the offset but its not on there website any one have any suggestions?


and 20s seem to big but my friend just put 20s on her new nismo z and i dont really find them to big...
