need opinions, Im torn between these two, both 20x8.5

 

I personally like the second one. The question I have would be which route you trying to go? You want to look more shine and looks/VIP'ish? or you want more of an tuner feel? From the picture the second one looks matte a gives more of a modified tuner image. The first one looks more for those who just buy the car get tint and throw rims on it and call it a day or they go for the whole lowered life with chrome trim. Both look good though, but my answer is the second one=).

 

First option Polished looks clean. make sure to get 40 series tires

 

Thanks guys. I love the 2nd one too but the 1st one pops more. Not sure which route yet.


The tires that were linked with them were 235/35/20. Would that work instead of the 40?

 

Too thin in my opinion. I have 40 series on mine and looks great and rides nice.

 

what color is your car? like someone else said are you going for the tuner look or the VIP? Attention getter I'd say the first one, something out of F&F then go the 2nd route lol. More info would help though.

 

Second, the darker ones.

 

good call, definitely going 40

im going more for the modded, dropped look, want to lower it next and so on

 

A 245/35/20 would be a better tire size choice.
It keeps the speedometer accurate and is the correct up size tire.

 

i like this size, whats the first number? 225, 235, 245?

 

The first number is the tire width. You shouldn't go narrower than the factory equipment in my opinion.
The second number is the aspect ratio. That is the sidewall height as a percent of the width.

A 255/35/20 has the same height as a 235/40/20, but narrower tread.

 

i vote shinier. option A (but in 40's)

 

so 245/40/20 may be the sweet spot then, 245 is the factory size now

 

My choice would definitely be the second one. As you can tell with the split vote there won't be a clear cut preference from this group . Let us know what u decide!

 

second one looks nicer. If you over 30 I vote for second. If you in 20s, i guess the shine may impress same age friends.

I have 225x50x17 tires. Big wheels will cost you lots of power and MPG. Already the 245mm on 18 " is too much for this car. This is a sacrifice where performance is thrown to gargage for looks. with 20s... you ain't gona be jumpin nobody at the traffic lights.

 

No, the sweet spot is 245/35/20, which would be the factory correct plus size.

245/45/18
245/40/19
245/35/20

See the pattern?

 

oh nice, thank you for the info

 

will i have issues with the following rims?

NICHE - MISANO Anthracite
20x9 all around,
5x114.3
+25 offset

 

They will poke just a little at stock height.
They will fit though.

 

sorry, what do you mean "poke"? Im a noob to all this, LOL

if you mean poke out from sides then how would the height effect it?

 

Yes, the edge of the wheel will stick out 2-4mm past the fender. That is called poke.
Mild poke is what you are looking at. Some people get wheels that poke much more, then stretch the tires so the tread stays inside the fender.

When you lower a car, the wheels are pulled in closer to the body.
The control arm is a fixed length. As you lower the car, the angle of the arm increases, and it's horizontal axis measurement decreases.

 

ahhhhh, gotcha. thank you!! so i should look for a smaller offset maybe?

 

How about the 20x10 with the 40mm offset. That is the size I am getting next.

Tire will be 255/35/20 square.

 

10et40 fit fine. A 255 is a bit stretched. A 275/30/20 would give you a vertical sidewall, but it is a more expensive size.



Higher offset. You want between 30 - 35 with a 9" wide wheel at stock height.

 

275 won't be happy on the front and I like to run a square setup on FWD.

 

275 is fine on the front. It is what I run right now all the way around.

 

Those look nice. I like the first ones. Has anyone thought about adding the SR wheels from the 2016 Max to our 7th gen? Someone was willing to sell me theirs for a steal but I don't know how they would look on a Pearl White 7th Gen. I don't believe his are chrome.

 

275/30 with a 20x10 40mm on Eibachs won't rub even cornering under compression up front? I need a size that won't rub even full compression in a corner.

 

I would not, too narrow and too small of a diameter for my taste.

 

not too big of a fan of those, looking really into the ones i posted, only reason i added the 3rd one half way down was my concern in rubbing when turning and of i did 20x10, how do i get them without poking out.

im assuming +25 offset means they are pushed out further then no offset. Im new to all this and never dealt with "offsets" on rims

 

Lower offsets will stick out further than high offsets. Et0 will stick out 25mm farther than et25 if the wheels are the same width.

 

I'm on coils, so I can't answer with eibachs. But I'm lower than with eibachs and have no issues. I'm running a 9.5 with 275s.

 

20x10
5x114.3
+40

so that should work all around without them sticking out really?

 

Yes.

 

Your offset?

 

20x9 in front, 20x10.5 in the rear. No rubbing issues:

 

You appear to be running a 245/35 on a 9, same as my current setup. My question is will a 20x10 on 40mm and 275/30 not rub up front even at full compression and cornering.

 

9.5 et38 275s all the way around.
Running 1 finger gap ride height in the front and tucking tire in the rear.

 

Great thanks.

 

Im narrowed down to

20x9 front - 245/35/20
20x10 back -

not sure what tire size to put on back, suggestions?

also offsets? lowered with Eiback prokit
