Default Time to purchase Wheels...

Ok im going to be purchasing some new wheels. in the next month...
I want to get 20's


i was thinking of doing this at first
20x9.5 A disk +35
and 20x11 +25 Odisk

but i am going to be using this car 3 days out of the week... its not a show car.. but i still want it too look Phat...
then i considered +35 allround.....

what is needed to run 20x11 +24 and maintain good ride quality.

I will stretch (to a point) and roll my fenders..
im going to be dropped on HKS Hypermax RS

A 20x11 +35 sits the same on the fender as 20x10.5 +29 or 20x10 +23
so that will give you some perspective.
Would work pretty well with 285/25-20 or more of a stretch 275/30-20

A 20x11 +24 sits the same as 20x10.5 +18 or 20x10 +12.

Pull those quarters to make that option fit.

I would stick with 20x11 +35 if you only want to roll/shave fenders. You don't want to be rubbing tires or worse your rims whenever you drive the car.

imho, the specs you're indicating may be difficult to manage being on 20s and RS.
1) 9.5s +35 up front might stick out since the RS dont slam slam slam in the front; trust me i know from first hand exp. a good roll might be able to these in, nice and snug
2) 11s +25 in the kicker (rear), you'll either have to slam, which you cant being on 20s, so that removes the camber-play option, OR, pull as socalsc4 kindly indicated.

again, i'm no wheel guru (thats socalsc4's side job ) but the specs you're looking at, as i indicated in #1-2, will require work and may not be ideal for a daily driver. either way, post em up when u get them!

imho, go 19s

yup I also say go 19", the GS is perfect with 19" with good VIP fitment.

something around

19x9 to 19x9.5 +20 to +28
19x10 to 19x10.5 +20 to +28

should all be OK. 225 (or 235) 35 19 stretch at front and 235 (or 245) 35 19 stretch at rear should also do u good.

Assuming what you have fully-adjustable coilovers.

Note on the coilovers with camber adjustment: this does not work on the
GS since it is not a MacPherson strut type suspension. The springs & shocks
on the GS only control up & down movement of the suspension and do not
locate the suspension. Therefore, camber plates or adjustable lower shock
mounting tab holes to not allow you to adjust the camber (or caster, for
that matter).
