Please give us an update once you get them. I am curious on the fitment and rubbing issues. I have 20x10's with 44 offset, 285/30's, with NF210 drop. I rolled the fenders and still get some rubbing. Next summer, when I put the wheels back on, I'm gonna try 275/30's to see if that helps. I'm curious to see if that 1mm in offset makes any difference. You may want to seriously think about the 275's.

I am seriously thinking aboout it. I wish I had ordered 20x9.5 and this wouldn't be an issue. There was no logical reason to get 10 in wide wheels when 9.5 does the job. There definitely be no rubbing with 275 on 10 because the tire will be stretched. The Bridgestones already have a softened edge so it might look stupid but it won't rub.

ReggieK is better than a maintenance light - when he gets new shoes, it's time to change my oil . . .

Hey, that's pretty funny.
I couldn't say this before but I will keep these wheels a while.........if they look as good in person as I think they will.

I wish i lived in Cali it would be easier and faster to change wheel. I always have to get wheels shipped in from LA. It only takes a week but it feels like months.

Great choice in wheels by the way. The color combo is gonna look sick.

^ Dunno, maybe someone can photochop it for you. GFM rims are hard to imagine, IMHO I'd want some contrast like black chrome or diamond black finish. . .

Btw, hurry up and get those puppies mounted - I'm curious to see what T1s look like on a GFM GS. . .

Yea i agree, i think it might look better with some contrast. Some silver wheels would compliment GFM nicely. What finish did you get them in?

if i were you i would go with 245 30 in the front and 275 30 in the rear i have that set up and i had a little rubbing issues in the rear near the back area where the bumper meets the quarter panel. so you got to be careful about going wider

why would you have that setup? that's not matching setup front and rear. either you haev 245/30 and 275/25, or you have 245/35 and 275/30

As bad as I want 285-30 for that little extra width.....I'm going with 275-30 to minimize rubbing. On a 10 in wide wheel, shouldn't be much rubbing.

What about my color matching idea?
