aquired a set of XO New York wheels 20x8.5 et32 20x10 et42
front tires 245/35 20
rears are 275/30 20
with these offset the fronts rub over dips
should I roll or trim front
rears seem ok with black trim removed but If I decide to keep them I suppose trimming a little for insurance would hurt

my question should I try another tire size

Going to a 40 series tires in the front would buy you a little more room but overall that fitment is really good, if your not lowered it shouldn't take much to stop the rubs. Post a pic if you don't mind, I'm thinking about running 20s this time myself.

Okay, yeah that seemed a bit tall in the front. Going to a 235 width or even 225 depending on the tire would get you a little more room for the front. This is why I'm still trying to decide if I want 19s or 20s in the front because I do want to lower the car too. Thanks for the pics, I'm jealous of your tint. NC won't let us go that dark. The wheels I'm looking at are the same widths as yours but have a 40 offset front and rear so they're a little more aggressive in the back but a bit more tucked in the front. I'm already planning to trim the rear and roll it flat plus whatever it takes to fix the front.

, on the tint Brian it's 35% all the way around it's just a little dark in my shop so appears to be much darker.,
In Virginia that is as dark as you can go
