Hey guys, I got a quick question here. I just ordered a wide body kit for my 06 ZR its the VS version 3 and my question is. What tire sizes should I be looking at to match the wide body?? I'm currently stuck over here in Baghdad, Iraq and I left my car to my younger brother to take care of while I'm over here. I need to know what tire size is right to go along with the kit, I'm looking at a couple choices:

19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear
19x9.5 front 19x10 rear

or

20x8.5 front 20x9.5 rear
20x9.5 front 20x10 rear

Which one would you guys recommend? Ive never had a wide body installed before, this is new territory for me and I know my fender flares will make my stock wheels look puny and not to mention ugly. I've dealt with normal body kits on my 3000gt vr4 but never on a wide body kit, so please any input would be nice. If any body out there with a widebody kit reading this post, please show some love and give some tire measurements. Thank you.

 

The wheel sizes that VeilSide recommends for this kit are:

20 x 9.0" (+18) Front
20 x 11.0" (-18) Rear

 

^He beat me to it!

Front: 20 x 9.0J (+18)
Rear: 20 x 11.0J (-18)

 

well i have in the front 20x9.5 and the rear 20x11

 

sweet thanks for the input guys

 

Be sure you get the right offsets! That's more important than the 19" vs. 20" decision... Either 19" or 20" wheels will look fine, but the wrong offsets will not!

 

I would recommend going a little more extreme with their suggested offsets. I have never seen VS wide fenders sitting on the tires with the rims poking out LIKE THEY SHOULD. This kit looks like anus unless the rims POKE out.

UHHHH any good websites to order tires??? hahahaha

 

FACKKKKK ive been into three websites already, www.edgeracing.com, www.wheelsnext.com, www.wheelfire.com and the closest size that even comes close to the recommended tire size is 20x8.5 front and 20x.10 rear. Will 1 inch missing on the rear tire really make the kit look like ***?? Anyone know a good website to order the 20x9.0 and 20x11.0??

 

where did you order your tires, do you know the website??

 

What is your budget for wheels ? Your probably going to drop more than $3500 for just the wheels.

 

You should be looking at...

-iForged
-HRE
-J-Line

They will make wheels to your exact specifications. But there more expensive.

here you go and even better you can run 10's up front and 11.5's or wider in the rear.

 

Damn im going to have to drop another 3k on a set of wheels hmmmmmm this is getting more expensive than I thought LOL, as if the kit wasnt expensive enough, shieet!! I really have no budget for the tires I have 28k to spend on the car. Maybe doing the exterior looks first wasnt such a good idea to start with hahahaha. Now im not so sure if i should put those fender flares on hahahahaha. Fender flares on or off??? If i decide not to go with the fender flares will the 20x8.5 front 20x10 rear be a good choice?? More input please before I go ahead and slap the kit on and waste an @$$ load of money. ORRRRR maybe just go with the Buddyclub 2 kit what you guys think?

Next mods to order:
Injen intake
Injen Exhaust
Borla or DC headers
Tien or Buddyclub Coilovers

 

nice nice thanks for the links

 

Why bother with performance mods if your looking at 20's. If you want performance get 18's , a cross of the 2, get 19's.
IMO i would ditch the body kit , extra heavy fibreglass FTL.

FYI the normal wheels for these cars is a 9.5 front and 10.5 rear and they clear the stock fenders no problem.

 

thanks for the website dude very helpful
