Default Offset and tire size..

Looking to buy some 20s with tanabe springs and wanted to know what is the best offset and tire size to avoid rubbing..
From the search, 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 seems to be the tire size.
But with lowering inch with tanabe, not sure if i need to go 30 front and 25 rear...
Also, please chime in about offset as well..

Thank you...

The 30 and 25 you mentioned are typical spacer sizes for stock wheels, not offsets.

For wheel offsets, you can look here:

I would also recommend contacting the owner to ensure there is no rubbing.

I have rsr coilovers not much of a wheel gap 20x9+35 245-35-20 and 20x10+35 285-30-20 had a lot of rubbing front and back but back I had to shave fenders and pull fender a tad and also had to cut some fender liner. For front nothing I can do rubs only on 1-5mph sharp turns on inner liner

just a tip

if you are getting wheels might as well get the correct offset so that you dont have to run spacers.

It depends on your wheel width too. Look at the attachment in the thread above to see what wheel specs others have used.

But note that RobertE is using those offsets and reports rubbing in the rear.
