20'' Wheel & Tire Discussion Thread
10.5 +30 would fit. i've had a 10 +7 before and i have a set of 20x10 +0 and 20x11.5 +7 work vsxx coming in. just make sure your fenders are rolled and a slight pull with some negative camber
Hey boys, Looking for some advice as i picked up a set of 20" work vsxx wheels. I need help to try and figure out what i need for tire sizes. Any help and suggestions are appreciated as this is my first time trying to fit an agressive set of wheels.
What im running:
Front: 20x9.5 +17 10mm spacer
Rear: 20x10.5 +13 5mm spacer (spacers are not mounted in the pictures)
Driver Side

Passenger Side

You be the judge but to me it looks like my driver side wheel sits out further then the passenger side, the only thing i can think of is that the camber is off slightly giving the illusion that the top of the rim sits out further. Like i said earlier i also need to run a 5mm spacer in the rear.
Help please!!!

a camber kit is going to do nothing for your offset..... hence the name it is just going to adjust camber so that you can angle the top of the tire some to try to fit in in your wheel well. i know it is your car, but i will never understand the hellaflush thing
I have to run a spacer for clearance on the brembo brakes. The disk size is an O disk and just barely clears the calliper, and work recommends a minimum of 5mms clearance.
i realize the camber kit only adjusts the top/bottom angle of the wheel. But my question is, does it appear that driver side rim sits out further from the car than my passenger? or am i just on drugs haha.
I do know that ill need to camber these wheels to get them to fit inside the wheel wells. Just trying to get opinions on what someone would do or have done in this situation.
This is my first time fitting aggressive wheels as you can tell :P

If you need to run spacers to clear the Brembos, I don't see how these wheels will ever work. Even with extreme camber, those wheels won't clear the fenders with any size tires. While we have only two pictures and a limited perspective to view in this thread, I'd say you'd be better off selling those particular wheels and finding some that will properly fit a Z33.
I see why you're running spacers now.
Common size tires for 9.5 and 10.5 wheels are 255 & 285 for starter. You can go wider for the race car look or stretch tire for hellaflush, pick your poison. I'm assuming you'll go stretch because of your 20" wheels and aggressive offset.

Is the car on the ground on wood blocks? Are you using a jack to push up the wheels to see how they'll sit when mounted? Could be that you don't have them equally pushed up into the fender...
So far!
1. The car is on wood blocks
2. She isnt lowered, just has the stock s-tune suspension that comes with the car.
3. I believe my best fitment is to stretch and go flush, race car look and wide tires would likely mean pulled fenders? If im not mistaken?
I was thinking 245 front and 265-275 rear. I also believe ill need an aftermarket camber kit aswell just to make the wheels and the ride better?

I'm running 245/35/20 on the front and 285/30/20 on my rear ... My questions is I'm thinking of buying some lowering springs .. Will my rear wheels be "tucked" in? If so do you guys think it will look good? .. Cuz I've see other cars ( not z's ) lowered and their wheels are tucked in like a mf .. And it looks ugly .. Any suggestions is appreciated ! Thanks!

For reference, I lowered me car approx 1-1.5inches with lowering springs and springmount mod in the rear. My rear camber is now at -2.5degrees. Which is not that crazy, and doesn't look excessive by any means.
If you are worried, just don't be cheap about it. Buy the proper parts so that you can get the car back into spec. Lot's of info on this website for what you need. Search the suspension threads.
