No there is no drop. I didn't make any mods what so ever. The only thing I'm going to do is the heat gun thing to the front cuz it scrubs a little at certain angles when I turn. So I guess the 35 profile has something to do with it.

O and yes these work with the TPMS


Hey, thanks for the compliment.

Details:

Wheels: iForged Modulare (2 piece)

Offsets: Somewhere on the order form, I'll post later, I know most on the forum say iforged doesn't release their offsets, for some reason mine came with a document stating the offsets!

Size:20x8.5 F and 20x10 R w/TPMS

Tires: Falken FK452-245/30/20 F and 275/30/20 R

Security: Gorilla, ordering 2 set of McGard locks for maximum security

Drop: Just sold Eibach's, waiting on some of the "F" stuff or maybe another conservative drop or maybe i shouldn't have sold my eibachs or maybe im confused, any advice!!!!

Rubbing: Slightly in the front when turning right and I'm not even dropped, kind of hate to drop it, but im doing it anyway!!!!

I'm really feeling the chrome! Looks great! I think its fine the way it is. I know it's your car, but I wouldn't drop it at all. It looks sick the way it is. Thats just my opinion.

So you went 245/30 on the F? How is that working out? You said it only rubs when you turn? Is it when you turn at certain angles or when u turn period?

I think I wanna go 245/30 on mine too. Can you take some daytime pics and show em b4 you make the drop? Thanks bro!

245/30 are working out cool. It rubs when i turn period, I have to make very wide turns to avoid the rubbing, its not bad but i just hate to hear the sound. Ill take more pics b4 the drop, I don't think im going to drop it untill the F springs are released so it'll be late March, i find it wierd that our cars look dropped and their not dropped, when some of the cars on the forum get their wheels need drops.

Thanks!

It would look good, you could paint the background black. I thought about it
but it would look better on a black car.
Plus there easy to clean

Rim shops said it couldnt be done.. but thanks to reading thru all of the pages on here from everyones post and specs, i came up with my own conclusion for a nice look and i can still rotate the tires...if your using smaller tires than this, you need to upgrade once they wear out... 20x8.5 front and rear both on 245/30/20. (Yeap, 245's on the front) it has the same rub in the front everyone else has with a 8.5" rim in the front. Easy fix though... heat gun or cut the piece of plastic out where it hits which is just over the size of a quarter...and you cannot see it once cut. With 2 passengers in front and 3 in the rear, the rear tires DO NOT rub...

Front 245/30/20 Nittos 35 Offset
Rear 245/30/20 Nittos 35 Offset
Front and Rear 8.5 x 20"
Drop by TEIN fron 1.6" Drop Rear 1.4
