Alright guys, Well I sold my Gio's today, and I'm going for some Iforged wheels.


My question is this, I'm going to do one of the wheels that is only 3-piece, so I have the choice of diameter and width.

I am definitely doing 20's, but my question is whether its a good idea to do more than the regular 20x8.5 and 20x10 set up.

I do not want to rub, as this is my daily driver, but still my show car baby. Will it help my handling to do a 20x9, and a 20x11 set up? will this be too much tire to push for my Gs3 to push? I plan on doing a turbo or something next year.

Basically what I'm asking is whether you guys would go for a more custom set up if it equates better handling or not. Price is not really an issue because materials aren't that expensive.

for the look go with the 9 and 11. it would look very nice. as long as you get the right offset you will not have rubbing issues except those that "come for free" on 20s.

for performance you are asking for it coz it's a lot of load for the gs3 to push.

3 piece or 2 piece doesn't matter for iforged, not like you change anything at will. plus i think 2 piece actually has more lip. but then the new style 3 piece have even more lip i believe

Yeah, I will be doing the new style 3 piece, so I can get the huge lip.

Hmm... Also thinking of resale, i guess it would be harder to sell the 20x9, and 20x11 since only the second gen gs can fit it. I guess if you do the regular 20x8.5 and 20x10 you could put them on the new gen gs, old gen gs, and sc and ls.

I'd say the 8.5 and 10. Seems to fit just right and you can slam it more.

I like this look Slam it on 20x9's, and 20x11's plus your in Texas so the roads are nice and smooth

how do you know? the 2nd gen gs is actually pretty restrictive. i think if something fits the 2nd gen it will fit the 1st gen. if something is aggressive on the 2nd gen (even if 8.5 and 10) it will NOT fit the previous gen sc. the ls i am not sure but i think they are less flexible than the 2nd gen gs. the sc430 has way different offset requirement so it's almost completely out of the question. on the previous gen sc, i fyou get the right offset you can do 9.5 front and 11.5 in the back i think.

personally i don't see that big of a differenec. if you are really inclined, you can always do 8.5 and 11

TLW

i agree

just for the sake of getting tires also

hmmm just checked tirerack for 295/3x/20 nada .. i bet those tires gonna cost you an arm and a leg, who cares your a baller lol

u can run 285 stretched, then again you drive... "spirited" lol duno if that would be wise

if you go to 295, i think you should get 25 profile?

joshoowa

iTrader: (1)

yeah i was thinking about that but i duno 25 is pretty thin.

rominl

iTrader: (4)

yeah it's pretty thin, but seems like that's what they have

actually i think that actually brings the 20s back to almost stock diameter?

Yeah, I just looked up a 305 tire, 440 bucks a piece. I don't know if I wanna drop that much for something that is 30 mm wider than a 275....

Grrr... I'll have to figure it out.

Yeah, lol Josh, I am a little spirited aren't I.

Henry, since you are the fitment wizard, will 20x11's fit with zero rubbing if i trim the fender tab. I plan on doing a pro fitment in the rear because I love the flush fitment.

Isnt tturbopimp running the 305s in the rear on his hre 20 x 11? That is one beefy tire. If you can pull it off and get the right offset I say go for it. I think it would look great.
