i know i shoulld post in the wheel section but.. i need a quick response and its alot faster here....

i was going through a local paper(cuz i'm bored) and saw a set of 20" wheels with 255/35 tires.. i know 255 is pretty wide but can it fit on my 4th gen thats has about a 2" drop?

he's askin $400 with tires.. Thats a deal!!! just to have a extra set for local shows i guess.

heres a pic of them:




Or do you think i should just stick to my 2k2 wheels...for now!

Thanks
-moo

 

What's the offset?

 

are those the actual wheels.......cause they are 6 lug

 

Nice catch

 

nahh!!! your 2k2 wheels look much better. Unless you want to drag your car everywhere leave the 20's off.

 

Thats what i thought. but he said its a center cap...
U cant see the lugs..

 

Good question!!

 

We would need to know the offset...not to mention it is a 6 lug wheel and yours only has 5.......case closed.

 

Why does everyone who gets 20"s get wheels that are chrome and shizz ? I never see anyone with 20" tuner style wheels.

I think you should stick with your 2k2 wheels or go back to 4th gen 5-spokes. I actually love the look of the stock 4th gen wheels...but maybe my opinion is biased because I've never actually owned a set of stock wheels on this car.

 

I would guess because most of the time, 20" is too big for performance. It just adds too much rotating mass.

 

It's just a center cap

 

missed that part......whoops

 

i guess that's why no one breaks my shoes over them.

to answer the question, i think mine are 245, so yours are almost a 1/2 inch wider, but wether they fit or not depends on the offset. my car isnt dropped yet and i rub slightly on the drivers side splashshield. i can only imagine itll be worse the lower you go. see if the guy is willing to let you try them on one side to see if they fit.

 

there are still not a lot ppl on the org that have upgraded to grown men wheels (not teen-age rims) so i don't think there will be a lot of input. i would think you would have a little rub, but you could always do spacers . . . . my 225s don't come close w/o a drop but that doesn't help you.


oh yeah i have some hella *** gangsta rapper *** big shiny wheels.

 

they're coming off an suv?

 

I'm about to lock this ****, stop the OT

 

thanks bro, I"m ask him if can try one on... and see how it fits..
I'm still waiting on him to call me with the offset

I'm really hopein they fit..
For that price...

 

Don't Do It!

 

20s look OK on a 4th gen with like a 1 inch drop, if you have a 2 inch drop it will rub definitely, i have a 2 inch drop and my 18s rub a little with 245/45 tires

 

no way jose!!! they will rub alot!!!

 

20's do not look ok on a 4rth gen. 20's cross the line of , well u kno

 

i don't know what line it crosses. since this is what i started with

and this is what it is now . . . .

maybe the thick line between lame and bad ***

 

what's OT?

 

Off topic....means not talking about the point of the thread.

 

Thanks everyone for the input...
I decieded to stick wit my 2k2 wheels for now. til i run arcross another deal maybe on 18's!

 

What size tires are u using?
and are u drop'd?

 

...okay.

 

i hate big wheel pissin contests. let's start a "**** on performance mods" thread.

 

225/35 and i'm not dropped. i don't rub at all but think that if my tires were any wider they would. i got a good deal for the tires i have now, but i wanted to go with some 245s. i've heard that going that wide will make it rub a little, but only when it's cranked to the stop. so i'm thinkin those 255 or whatevers he was talkin about would be terrible as far as rubbing. might look hella mean just sittin though

 

wait, you got it backwards....

 

G35 coupe rims offset +30 i think and 245. it rubs on my back fender with S-Tech drop. Rubs meaning when there's a good dip on the road and speed factor, it'll shave the side of the tires a bit. The front with 235, they're just fine. hope this helps.

 

Dude get the 20's they will fit the problem will be when you have people in the back seat, and they look soooo sick dont worry about what all these old men say
