10" wheels in front
anyone ever tried 20x10" wheels in the front of 3gs? Thinking about going 20x10" all the way around and wondering how much rub i would get. I see some guys running 20x9 with aggresive offsets and wondering how much different it would be with 1" wider wheel with a moderate offset. btw the car will be sitting stock height.
I'm curious to know if you could even get 10's in there without hitting the springs/coilovers. I forget just how close it is to begin with. But as Batman said, you'd really lose out on handling.
Go for it! Be the first!

I'm thinking about ordering 2 10" for the rear then test fit them up front. If they don't fit i'll just order the 8.5" Just wanted to know if anyone has tried it or opinions. I hadn't thought about the spring clearance. Would +35 offset or +45 be good for the rear? I know +45 is what is recommended but will +35 clear the fenders at stock height?

Thats what i'm trying to find out. If you have a 20x9.5 with low offset, why wouldn't a 20x10 work with medium offset...only half an inch wider. I wonder how much space is between the tire and front suspension ?

You would rather have a 4" lip all round than have a car that drives right. Do you realize how dumb that sounds?

thank u!!
Here is what made me think of doing it. Here is a photoshopped pictue of some vertini wheels and it looks like they put the rear wheels in the front. It looks pretty good to me.... if it would work.

^ im pretty sure they didnt. its probably a 9" wide wheel. if you really want a 4" lip up front, go custom and get wheels with a custom offset so you can get the 4" lip that you want.
