I'm really curious how this would fit.
20x8.5 +33 wrapped in 245/30
20x10 +33 wrapped in 275/30

Lowered with Megan Coils. Any advice is much appreciated.

Tire guys - I need some advice

I researched the wheel fitment pretty extensively, but still need some help on which tires would fit best for..............

20x8.5 Front, 20x9.5 Rear
Offset 20mm Front , 25mm Rear
Lip Size 2.5" Front, 3" Rear
Hub bore size 73.1 mm

Rolling fenders is not a problem and I assume I will need to. Coilovers going on eventually.

I needs some numbers suggested for the section width and sidewall aspect ratio. T.I.A.

Will update soon with sc400 lip and lowering springs.

I want to go down and inch. So I'm looking for a set of Supra springs and struts.

Any suggestions? Weird that the front offset would be lower than the rear. Should I just buy 5mm-10mm spacers right off that bat, or would the extra width and lip of the rear make up for it?

I've really got my eyes on these and any advice would be great. I wasn't thinking about 20's, but I like these wheels and others (Scott RU Not) pulled off 20's fine with a +36 offset.

And what tires?

Thanks a lot for the response. I searched and searched, but I hadn't seen wheels with higher offsets in the front than in the rear.

I could still use some advice on tires, but I appreciate the response Kaydee.

I think I'm going for it!

I am looking at pictures of your ride from your garage link. You're right, both front and back look flush to me, even with those offsets.

Good job on fitment - they look great. You've been a real help. I am negotiating for those wheels as we speak!

I am probably over thinking this, I can always get some 5mm spacers if I don't like the way the rears sit.

Thanks again Kaydee!

19x9.5f +25
19x10.5r +35

Will these work or will it take alot of modification? The wheels are Auto Coutures
tire size suggestions also, thanks.
