Hi guys,

My 20's were just delivered yesterday and i installed them. The tires are 245/35/20. They look great on the car and its AWD so its ridin on stock height for now. Anyway, I have a small amount of rubbing in the front when I turn all the way. It seems to hit the plastic piece in the front, looks like it might be a splash guard??. Has anyone else had rubbing issues. It really doesn't bother me that much at all since it happens when i cut the wheel hard, but just curious. I'll post the pics in a day or 2, its raining hard in NJ today. I must say though, the 20's with a 245/35 fills in the wheel well better than i expected. I don't mind the look until an AWD spring is released. I had my 04 Grand Prix dropped on 18's and it rode horrible with Eibach springs. Sorry to get off subject. thanks.

I just put 20's with the same tire sizes as yours. Mine does the same exact thing, when in reverse and when i turn into my driveway. I decided to take a heat gun to the 2 small spaces that my tires rub. I heated it up, not all the way until it melts but before, then while i could see that the plastic was capable of pushing in, i did. This worked for my application, some people told me that i should have put a 30 series tire on instead of 35, but in the streets of Baltimore, thats not a good idea. these streets around here will kill the rims.

Id like to see the new rims, post some pic's.

those rubbing are normal coz' you are running overspec tires. no big deal, when you are doing full hard lock turns, you are likely going slow anyway

Here is a picture of my car with the new 20's color matched and with NO adjustment to springs.

i have the hardest time uploading pictures. I think the size of the picture is too big. I have multiple photos but it wont let me upload. Any idea how to shrink them?

I got the Katana Destiny's. Its a 5 spoke, they are pretty similiar to the 18's I had on the Grand Prix. As soon as I get out of work, i'll take some pics and post them. I thought I was the only one ridin stock height on 20's, lol. Nice.

BMORE, Very sic GS. It is nice to see another MDer riding clean!! The color matching is a nice personal touch that I look to do when I finally buy some shoes. How deep is that lip, it looks good.

Mikedozz, you are hurting us with the lack of pics, particularly us fellow AWDers who want a comparison between our stock set ups until a true AWD spring comes out.

Thank you

Its 3.5" lip all the way around with 245/35/20. I like the look and when we finally get the opportunity to add AWD springs to our cars. It will make things so much better.

I get the same rubbing guys! Most noticeable when I reverse out of a parking space. I've performed a visual inspection of the front wheel wells and I can't seem to find out where it's rubbing. It doesn't seem major.

it's rubbing either front side or rear side of the wheel well lining, most likely when you turn your wheel (especially when hard lock turn)

that's due to overspec diameter
