There's your issue. I think the recommend offsets are Front +38 Rear +45. The lower the offset the more your wheels with stick out which would cause rubbing if lowered.

What wheels did you order? I'm not sure you about your set up since you didn't run staggered. Instead you are running a higher offset in front and lower in back. But it depends on the look you want. I wanted mine flushed closer to stock so thats why I went with those offsets.

235/35/20. I got this idea from a tire suggestion through a member on here. That's what he is running and he has no issue. I did a lot of research and a lot of people that are running 245/30 or 245/35 are getting issue of rubbing on full turns and reversing I guess.

I run a 225/35 front and I rub on my liner. Depends on offset and how low you are really. A 245/30 has a a smaller tire diameter than a 225/35.

Good to know. I just want to go low enough where this is no gap at all; probably right to the tire.

Hi guys, i was so excited to finally get my tires mounted onto my wheels. My specs are 20x10 et+30 +20 (rears). But i knew i wouldnt be that excited for long,

I went to go put the +30 upfront and it doesn't even sit on my hub, maybe only on 3 studs. I had my +20s up front just to see and it sits on the hub but scraps against the caliper. So i went to autozone, and got the cheap 5 lug 5/16 spacer and it sits fine, but it still looks very tight.. I called the vendor ive been going thru for all of this and they recommend the ichiba spacers with the extended studs on there which i think will work. But i am not local to them for me to bring in my car.

I've done so much research on my wheels and i was sure these would clear, but i guess not =(*


My dilemma is what size spacers to get for the fronts

Wow you went with 10 up front? Should have gone with 9.5 or less up front.
