Default Time for a wheel change...

Hi All,

I'm very close to purchasing some ace alloy mesh 7 wheels for my F, but wanted to just quickly verify with the tire gurus on sizing. I'm still learning the automotive game, so I appreciate all your help.

Info:
Fronts are 20x8.5 / Tires - Michelin PSS 245/30/20
Rears are 20x10 / Tires - Michelin PSS 285/25/20

1) Anyone see any issues with the above?
2) What offsets would be recommended to maintain the similar stance as OEM (not a fan of the wheels sticking out look)? Front and rear wheels come in 20 through 45 offsets.

Thanks!

JC

I believe the stocks offsets are 45 front and 55 rear. The fronts have plenty of allowance, so, for an 8.5 tire you are good at plus 32 upwards. The rear is where it gets tricky. My previous Vossens were 10.5 wide with a 45 offset and I rubbed. But I think with a 10 inch tire you will be fine. Don't forget to post pics as I considered those Mesh 7s before but I went forged. Anyways, good luck with the set up.

Get the 45 offset in the rear and front to stay as close to stock stance as possible.

Again...telling it like how it is. Who's bashing? I'm asking a question...

I ain't guna be concerned if folk don't want to show up to the meet.

I'm calling the cat black... The IS F comes with BBS wheels stock...why would you put anything less on it?

BTW...it's "their" not "there". Their denotes possession...there denotes direction.

Get whatever you think looks best for YOUR car man. And LOL at the HRE comment, you think they have all their own original designs that no other wheel company before them did? I guess Work and SSR wheels both copy each other than too lol.
