20x9.5+35 235/35/20
20x10 +35 255/35/20
And they did do front fender work also its on a UAS air suspension..
Hope this helps...
I also wanted to mention that Work also offers this wheel in step-lip and 21"s...
So would it make a more aggressive look if i got 9"F and 10.5"R. I want an aggressive look so looks like ima need fender work? BTW snice the front is still 9" would it be smart to keep same +32 (A-disc)245/35/20 <--(No Idea What All Those Numbers Means).. And have something different in the back? Umm as for lowering the car any springs or coilovers that ride pretty stocked with a good drop also?

Hey thank for all the awesome replys guys this is giving me a confidence boost lol except for my newb questions

By the way the wheels choice will look very sharp on the 3GS.. I've seen two different 3GS with these wheels. I did consider these wheels when i was shopping for wheels, but i ended up getting something more classic. Pictures comming sooon.
I have to say albert is a pretty nice guy. Hes the only shop that offered to beat the competitors price. thats a in my book. Also ive only heard good things about them so far. so he gets

I personally dont like how a 9" in the front and 10.5" in the rear look..Because you have a massive rear lip and the front doesn't even come close..As for the numbers that I tossed out to you here is the break down..

9" obviously is for a 20x9 inch wheel.
A-disc is one of 3 disc standards offered from Work.A-disc is a the standard disc clearance. O-disc is for a super low disc setting and R-disc is for big brake clearance..The way these wheels are designed the A-disc should give you enough clearance..
and 245/35/20 is the tire size Im recommending

Now you have to think about which finish you want.. Black polish, MSP(machine silver polish) or CS (crystal silver)

So you would recommend 9"F and 10"R? About the Tires wat does the 245 mean as for the 35 and does the 20 mean it fits 20"?

245 represents how wide the tire is..
35 represents how thick the sidewall is.
20 is the size wheel..

I think you will be fine with a 9"f and 10"r..Its a safe set-up and will look good..

now be careful of the "sidewall" # since it's the aspect ratio - the % of the sidewall/ section width

245/35-20

basically, the 35 is a % of the width, to find the height of the sidewall in this case.

you take 245mm * .35 = 85.75mm = the height of your section sidewall

so therefore

255/35-20 's sidewall is different than 245/35-20, altho the number is the same, the calculation will yield different result, just want to clarify this for people.

Flip still went all ***** out.. Considering all the Fender work he has to do on a brand new car to fit those agressive fitments. I give him props
