Default Got my new 20's have one ? and any advice

Ok so i got my new 20's on my car and i keep thinking about this 3.00% rule on my tcs. I got 20x8.5's in the front with a +20 offset and my rears are 20x10's with a +25 off set 245/35/20 and my rears are 275/30/20 I was just wondering if this setup is going to reak havoc on mt tcs I tried to do my homework and I though i was below the 3.00% and adive will help thanx guys.

Have you had any problems with the slip light? I just got 245/30-20 front & 285/30-20 rear. I have no problems at all. But I was going to try and exchange the front tires for 245/35-20 because they are too thin. I'm not sure if that will mess with the VDC, cause the height will be the same 26.7 all around.

haven't had the slip light come on at all i guess its the extra weight only had them on for a day know but have drove over 100 miles no probles yet i think it's below the 3.0% so no probs they look great and you can deff feel the diff on traction witha bigger patch so hope so

I've got the basic setup as you described. I turn off my TCS but on two occasions within the last year during hard cornering or acceleration the system came back on. No problem, just hit the button again, alls well.

Yeah I just looked at the tire models and I think i'm ok there only diff in the front is i guess a diff by 2.4% the backs are only .6% of i guess if you add them up you get the 3% so i guess every know and then it will happen and the slip light will come on guess we'll see

Thanks. I'm lowered on Pro-Kits and was wanting to put 20"s. But it look like it'd be too low. The way your car looks, now, is perfect to me. I should've left my springs and just got some nice 20"s. I guess I'll just go with 19"s. Thanks, and nice car.

20x8.5 245/35/20 and 20x10 275/30/20. Dropped on Eibach Prokits. No problems with the VDC no Rubbing. Just people constantly giving the thumbs up!

Overall Diameter: 26.47 in 672.33 mm
Overall Diameter: 26.49 in 672.84 mm


The rear tires are the same overall diameter as the front. Best of luck with VDC.
