Wheel help
Wheel help
I searched but couldn't find a good answer, Looking to pick up a set of 20's for the G ride, will be lowered on coilovers or air soon. My question is how wide can i/should I go? I was thinking 9 in the front and 10 in the rear possibly 10.5 in the rear. What do you guys think and could anyone point me in the right direction.
lol i guess i shouldve worded that differently, what I would like to know is how wide can I go before I'm going to have to start modifying things? If you read my post you would see that I searched and never found a concrete answer.
My asumptions.... 10.5inch rear wheel is max you can run, after that youll be shaving fenders and adding camber.... or is it a 10 inch... see what im asking?

the answer is not there, the answers you guys are saying is examples of a width and an offset that would fit our cars, theres hundreds of examples of what will work and im just asking for a base answer. example.... 20x10 in the rear +5to +30 offset will yield no fender mods. catch my drift?
I dont have any offsets in mind, im a new when it comes to this as i never bought a set of wheels in my life lol I just want to be able to go look at wheels and be able to buy them knowing i wont have any surprises when i slap them on the G ride

Also, tire brands run different with the same respect to size. i.e. a toyo might have a thinner overall stretch than a falken stretched tire. etc. You also have to factor in tire pressure as well.
Search for Rominl's 2gs/sc430 guide. That will be EVERYTHING you need. I have it soemwhere at home and if its still needed i will scan and post up a pdf version.
20x8.5 front +36 to +44 should be fine with no rubbing and lowering, no fendor work needed whie using 245/35, 245/30,
20x10 out back +38 to +48 would be fine with no work needed, no rubbing and either a 265/30 275/30 285/30 tires.

I have 20 X 9 +38 in front with 245/35/20 tires and I have no problems unless I really drop her down on the coilovers. Occasionally I have a slight rub when turning the wheel full-on when backing out in reverse, but nothing significant IMO. Out back I have 20 X 10 +43 with 285/30/20 and they are fine. Of course the camber and drop height will have effects and if you are at stock height and no negative camber I think my wheels would rub the fender liner on bumps.

you guyrs arent understanding, i know that theres a threadaskign if a specific wheel and tire combo will fit, thats not what im asking.... Thank you starfyrels, thats the direction i was hoping to be pointed in, not a comment about doing research and sorting through a ton of threads 20 times.
in all fairness luda i think they are trying to help you. But to say whats the widest you can go is pretty vague. Like everyone is saying offsets play a big part in it. find out what rims you are looking at. There are plenty of ppl that are here to help you but to just give ask a vague question you can expect ppl to give you some flak about

thats his fitment guide, all i really wanted to know. I understand everyone is trying to help but when 90% of the people say search, search search it doesnt do me any good.
What i really wanted out of this thread was a rough idea of an offset i could run with a 9.5", 10", 10.5" rear wheel with waht type of tires without mods.... i have no specific wheel size or type that im looking at, I just wanted to be educated before diving into this project. Thanks everyone for their help.
