Question What do you think of this combo?

20" Tsw Nogaro Chrome
20X8.5 +20 with 245/35 or 255/35 tires
20X10 +25 with 275/30 tires
5mm spacer all around
Eibach springs

This would be on a 05 yellow zr touring
I'm not really into spending $$$ on wheels and tires.

Thanks for all comments

Personally, wheels and tires can make or break a car. I am not a big fan of 20's or TSW's.

You can get what ever wheel you want but as for the tires, I would not put 275-30-20's in the rear.

I would go with 275-35-20 or 285-35-20.

The problem with 275-30-20 (26.5 inches approx.) is that this tire is smaller in diameter than 245-35-20 (26.8 inches approx.) and if you go with 255-35-20(27.1 inches approx.), the gap will be even more

I know that Z have stagger setup but fronts tires are usually smaller than the rear.

If you get the setup listed above, your front tires will be bigger than the rear.

That's exactly what I thought and 35 series protect rims better since they have taller tire wall than 30 series.

i beg to differ.. hehe i know its your opinion and all.. but i have 20inch chrome HRE's and they are just about the same weight as my stock touring wheels, only difference is in rotaional mass.. which does make it a little harder to stop, but not by much.



btw.. with those wheel sizes i would say you run a 255/35 in the front and a 285/30 in the rear.

tastes are subjective - put what you like on the car, not what someone else likes. But, why on earth would you be doing spacers with those sizes?

Are you looking for performance, or a g mobile? But personally I would rather side for performance with 18's but everyone has their own taste...Good luck with your decision

chrome is great if done right. TSW wheels look nice in the most case, but i dont like the weights. However, you've already made up your mind. Chrome is definately better than polished lips, but chrome is easily worse than the rays chrome powdercoat, which is lightweight artificial chrome.

Like I said, its subjective. Some like chrome, some like polished lips, some like the stock wheels - to each his own.
