Honestly. by experience, I don't like the rims extruding out of the tire. I had to repair 3 broken rims in front so I had to change to wider tires. Too much potholes.

So your rears are technically 20 x 10.5 +16 with spacers? What is your tire setup and did you shave/roll the fenders?

Yes, that makes it a +16 out back. I went with a 255/35 on the Rr and a 225/35 up frt... I dont care too much for the it so I may go with a 215 to achieve the stance I want. Anyways we rolled the rear fenders temporarily but I have plans on shaving them once my coils arrive.
