Default 20x10.5 front and 20x13 rear?

Hi Guys,

question about huge wheels:
20x10.5 (+35) front (4 inch lip)
20x13 rear dunno offset (6 inch lip)

does anyone have a similar setup? I don't know exactly what would be required but im not looking to change fenders or shave.. I don't mind rolling them! I will be adding bc coilovers and lowering the car, but enough to have tire visible.

other question is how much restriction is there with turning? and what is the ride like? ok for daily use? or long distance?

im sure there are many other things im don't know about but any info would be useful so I can decide if I should go for these wheels or not.

Thankyou,

The fronts look very deep. I'd check if it clears front suspension components. As for the rear, that rear offset is key. If it clears the rear suspension components, I don't foresee it fitting without overfenders or fender flare, and neg camber

I'm running Work Meister S1 in 19x11.0 -2mm T Disk and 19x12.5 +5mm T Disk. I had to widen front and rear about 2". You will have to do fender work but not sure about the rear since you don't know the offsets and disk type. Fronts might be a little high on offset to clear the strut assembly.

thanks guys!! according to the seller I shouldnt have any problems with clearing suspension and no problems with turning radius.. I thought you cant turn your wheels as much because the wheels are deep? not sure how it works..

So according to you guys fenders cant be stretched out that far right? I would need a flare for sure? how much could you feel a fender out to keep original look?

Im going to see them and measure.. ill post the measurements back here.. if the weather is nice I might just take the car there and mount a front and rear..

other then that how is the feel guys?

Thankyou very much!

Hi Guys, what is the maximum a fender can be stretched without ruining the shape? is two inch easy to do? will my bumper have a problem sitting? and can anyone tell me if handling gets worst with bigger wheels in front? does the steering feel heavier? less turning radius?

please and thankyou

you would need body work to flare out 2 inches. If you are not ready to go to the extremes I would suggest not to go that big.

sorry don't know much about this but when you say body work you mean just to roll? or adding fender flare, moulding and paintwork? I think those wheels would probably stick out 2.4" in rear.. But I dont wanna have to do any more then just fender rolling..

Thankyou

you wont get it on with just a roll.

This is how much they stuck out on stock body



This is what i mean by body work. I had to flare out the front and rear to fit my current wheels.

What wheels are you looking at? I may want to replace mine if you don't want to go that aggressive.

Hey MrMark,

the wheels are auto couture magnifique's. I sent you an email with the details. I went and saw them, beautiful wheels, do need some work but I think I would be looking at more then a fender role to fit those.. they would stick out about 2.6 inches..
