Anyone have 20 inch rims?
 
does anyone have 20 inch wheels on? and what tire size?

here are some pics of a car with 20 inch rims and low pro tires i believe, i want 20's with similar tires, but look at how close the tires are to the fenders all around.. one TINY bump and there goes all four fenders... thats what im worried about.

here are pics.

Properly set up they won't rub, but yeah they bend pretty easy.

rxdo 07-11-2012 09:23 PM

I believe the term is "twankies" or "deuce deuce" the later implying 22" rims :happydance:

I never heard of twankies before LOL

I always thought it was:

dubs = 20s
double dubs =22s

sfearl1 07-12-2012 09:16 AM

You ridin Jacksons? Can't lose with 22's.

DjSquall 07-12-2012 11:11 AM

I run 255/35/20 fronts (20x10) and 305/25/20 rears (20x12)

Every bump and pothole is scary.

OKC Z 07-12-2012 11:26 AM

Im currently still running on 20's 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 rear. Tires are 245 front and 285 rear. I say still cause they are up for sale. No rubbing only when i go in in a dip at 30+ mph but im crazy like that. They sit pretty good all around.

i had 245/35/20 front, 275/30/20 rear on my 2003 350z, so im thinking of doing something similar, but for sure 20's. and i had no problems. but seeing some peoples pics like djsquall and the yellow one posted, its pretty damn close to the fender, and dont want to Fup all four fenders..

so you guys are saying hitting bumps and holes will F it up? damn man.. scary, sometimes you just dont see the potholes coming..

OMG! I'm going to be running this same setup except on 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 rears.

I hope the ride isn't too harsh and bumps too bad.:eekdance:

your scaring me dude. i wash my car every week by hand, and rims and calipers and inside, i pretty much spend over an hour every time before i ride it, im a perfectionist.. so you can only imagine how ill react if i F up my fender..

dammit... what to do now..

Z11 07-12-2012 07:38 PM

what size are they?

Liquid_G 07-12-2012 07:50 PM

20x9.5 +6 20x10.5 -12 225/35 255/35. Some camber, rolled fenders in the front and front bumper tabs re-done. No rubbing at all. Chicago roads suck but had these wheels for over a year now and no bends.. I think the step lip helps the strength because I've hit some potholes that made my butthole pucker and they've been fine.

By properly set up, I mean ride height & camber. 20x12's dont fit the stock height, theyll stick out. (At least with my offset) I dropped mine and currently run -4.8 camber. This is on KWV3 coilovers and SPC camber & control arms.

The ride is stiff as hell, but when it bumps, the wheels tuck into the fenders. On a full tank, I can barely fit 3 pennies between the rears and the quarterpanels.

Liquid_G 07-12-2012 08:31 PM

reuploaded to photobucket.. maybe dropbox link wasn't working for you.

snea 07-12-2012 08:53 PM

You're not gonna f'up your fender since you'd most likely hit the inner plastics which are somewhat durable and replaceable. If you did happen to sustain a little dent on the lip on your wheel it is typically repairable without any noticeable effect for around $100 - $150.

I think most people who put 20s on their cars are also lowered and so are much more likely to run in to trouble than you would be. Just be cautious as to where you drive.

That looks sick! Ordered the same exact rims except in bronze lip with black face. Offset is not as aggressive though.

The Work barrels are also forged so they are stronger than your standard wheel.:tup: Hopefully I will have the same luck with mine.

Liquid_G your set up is sick...your on coilovers right? Why did you have the front tabs redone? Can't we just go without them? I'm still trying to decide if I want to take the jump to 20s or go as aggressive I can with 19s. The step lip is so enticing...

W.O.W. 370Z 07-13-2012 07:11 AM

Step lips for sure!

LOL...we track our shop 370Z with 20" Advan RS-Ds and Yokohama Sport tires. Proper offset and suspension is key to doing this.

255-35 20" up front and 275-30 20" in the back. Probably not the most ideal setup, but it still gets the job done.

KaienZ34 07-13-2012 08:57 AM

My old setup, 20x9.5+35 20x10.5+10 on 255/30/20 305/25/20. Stock height, camber, etc... I know it looks like a monster truck.

Holy moly! How much of the rear tire is touching the floor? :roflpuke2:

I love the look, but i still can't get over a 255 tire on a 10.5" rim.

About 50-80% depending on how full or empty my tank is :)

But this thing bites corners like a t-Rex bites its prey
