sup fat tire guys. need some help...

im making the switch from "hella flush" stretched look to the fat tires and flush look.

the help im looking to get is...

my old setup was -

20x9.5 (+5 offset with low disk) 225/35/20
20x10.5 (+5 offset with low disk) 255/35/20

the NEW setup im now moving onto-

20x8.5 +15 offset (R-Disk)
20x10 +10 offset (R-Disk)

my question is with the old setup i had, i sat perfectly flush with my fenders just the back wheels rubbed sometimes (i rubbed the rears on big dips) but the fronts had 5mm more room for poke

what sized tires can i go with on my NEW setup that will be similar to the old but WITHOUT the stretch. i want meat. (pause) and i dont want the tires to rub im trying to make the ride as comfortable as possible on the 20's


thanks in advance for any help!

P.S- this is the look im going for...

Guys,

I'm thinking of getting a set of 18" Track wheels for my Z (Z's currently settup very aggressive and stretch).

It'll be 18x10+10F and 18x11+23R.

What tire size you recommend? Front has no camber kit. Rear has SPC Camber + Battle Version Toe Arms.

I'm running BC ER True coilover Kit.

Or do you recommend I get 18x10+10 All around as a square setup?

Thanks,

You say "track" wheels. Does that mean they are track-only, or dual-purpose? You could run 275-285 front and 295-305 rear without much issue. Maybe a touch of camber up front and rear fender roll, but the offsets are pretty good for big tires.

I have always autox'd 285/285, but then got set up with 285/315. My track set-up is still 285/285 though.

Thanks Scott. I plan to use these wheels for DD & Track purpose. Basically performance oriented.

My rear fenders are rolled flat as I'm hella slam on my very aggressive 20 setup right now. (20x10.5 -7 and 20x12 -8).

But my rear tires are rubbing against the bumper mounting place though I rolled and trimmed it off some. I may need to do some pull on that though.

So you think I can run 275/35R18 on the front no problem with 18x10+10?

Depends on your camber, but probably ok. 265/35 would be safer, but if you're willing to add some camber if necessary, 275/35 is the ticket.

Close, 18x10.5 +15. I'd go 265/35/19. A 275/30 might work up there, possibly 275/35.

I'm running a 255/35 on my 10.5 +7 te upfront. -3.4camber I'm pretty low and I drive fine. I'm going to try my 265/30 next week which I think should fit fine.
Unless you raise your car alot
