Another wheels and tires post
So I know we have several posts about tire and wheels.
but. I wanted some frank opinions on this setup.
9.5 x 20 on the front with hancook 255/30/20s
11.5 on the rears with 305/30/20s
Strausse 3 piece forged, they wont tell me the offsets but they say they have been made spec for the rcf.
Im Buying from an rcf owner
go or no go?

You should specify what you have/haven't done to your car.
Especially if you're planning to run spacers and/or drop it in any way.
Also its 20x9.5 not 9.5x20 and hankook.
Off the top of my head 20x9.5 shouldn't be a problem but 11.5 and the 305 may stick out a bit.
I'll check in about an hour when I'm on my way home and get back to this post.

Oops. Thanks.
still stock suspension. No spacers.
strausse claims they were made to be flush with fenders.
.
curious if that 11.5 is going to be soo aggressive come new tire selection etc.
i woukdnt have made 11.5s i would have stopped at 11 my selve. But this deal is priced well below what he paid.
almost hard to pass up unless Ill have issues with my daily driving rcf
thanks in advance for opinions

If this was custom made for the RC-F and within your budget, why not. An 11.5 inch wheel with the right offset ( I would assume +50 ) will not stick out specially at the stock ride height. But I assume you are dropping your F? Strasse Forged is also a reputable company.

Thx Lexura, Im guessing as well the fronts are not 50 and rears 42 offset as the stocks are. Im more interested in any concerns for the rolling circumference of the rear and any implications to daily driving, performance and big GotYas that are not obvious to me.
so far so good. Keeping me ears open.

Why won't they tell you the offset ? I have 20 x 9 +38 with 255/35 in the front with no problems (stock height) and 20 x 10.5 +45 in the rear with 275/30, had to add a 11mm spacer to make them flush. I don't see the rim and tire size being a problem, but if you don't know the offset your just taking their word for it that you won't have a problem. The 305/30 has a .4 smaller O.D.( 27.2) then the factory 275/35. (27.6)
