Default Wheel Questions..... I know I know

Looking at

20x9 +38
20x10 +38


Guy said said 225/35/20 and 255/30/20 but I have a feeling he is wrong. I would never go with smaller tire from OEM....

If your looking for the front wheels to look a bit more aggressive/flush you may want find the 20x9 +32 fitment to be a better choice.

I know Vossen offers both +38 or +32. Mine were ordered with the +38 offset and I prefer the look other members have with the +32 offset.

I really like the look of the Niche Targas and the Velgens. If you can find a good side/angled view pic or see the Niches in person you will notice that the the spokes "blend" into the inner barrel in the middle of the wheel. Hard to describe but you won't be able to miss it on a good angled pic. May be something you love about the wheels or dislike...

Good luck with the wheels!

Yea that sounds about right. My wheels are slighty wider 20x9.5 +28 and 20x10.5 +41 and sit a bit more aggressive in the front. I ran those exact tire sizes.

That is what I said! He is like well you need a sign a waiver saying if the tires rub or anything, we aren't responsible.

thats funny never heard of that before, u should tell him explain me this, factory tires are wider that what u are giving me ,and I did not have to sign a waiver when I got the car. loll. go to an another tire shop sorry to say, but run 245/35/20 front with 32 offset and 275/30/20 with 38 offsett the car will look very nice and aggressive and most guys will agree with me on this also.

shops go by the book..which is to maintain the aspect ratio of the original wheel setup.. They give the recommendation the book says for a 9" wide wheel which would be a 225... Shops are just CYA.. Which is understandable... Because once you mount and balance its on them, thus the waiver... With this new age of aggressive fitment... The book has not changed even though wider wheels will fit...1010tires.com has an excellent tire size calculator to help you with fitment... I would do the 245 will the 32 offset
