might be a good idea to get off stock suspension when you're "twin turbo"

Yep, that's what you gonna need to run the more aggressive 19x9.5+15 wheel that was previously mentioned before that comment was made.
What are your plans for the car? Spirited driving,track,etc..
And do you plan to lower suspension any?
These are good things to know before ordering wheels & determining where they're gonna sit.

Thank You for the help.
I do not track car.I do enjoy spirited driving.I had not planed on lowering.The only suspension change I made was larger sway bars front and back.I know this is off topic but what would you suggest for springs and coilovers?This car will be used as a driver.I really liked the car when I got it but thought it was lacking in power so the turbos.
Again thank everyone for all the help.

I spirit drive mine & hard acceleration from slow to no speed...so i frequently light the tires.
With this being said;i have factory suspension up front & only adjustable camber arms in rear,My camber is sitting at -0.9*/-0.8* up front (non-adjustable).
My rear has been adjusted from -1.60* to -0.9'ish (the same as front)...so my tire wear stays even & doesn't wear out the inner portion.
rear tires currently have (5.5/32") on inner & (6/32") outer tread remaining from 10/32" new...I have no problem's in the curves & pretty close to maxed out on rear backspacing at 8".
As far as springs go...that's when you'll need to buy some quality SPL Fuca's & some rear component's to have full control of adjustments to suspension...For as you go low-wheels will lean inward (-camber) & you will want to spec that for your desired driving or look.
I can't answer for the coil's...as they may take up more room than factory parts & could cause interference w/wrong spec'd wheels.

Also Baronsmokes; Just noticed you're in a Roadster...I know that you would need a rollcage for some event's...if you decided to Drag-Race or something.
(Blueranger) has a TT Roadster & has a thread on that.

You have talked me into changing suspension.I will look at posts on suspension.

@hotrodz I suppose I didn't really think of that. I'm not opposed to 305's if it'll clear. Plan on sticking with Pilot SS. Do you mind posting a pic of your setup? tia.

Here some pics of that I took test fitting my 18x11's with 305/35 drag radials on the front https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cba5b3e4c9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d7501ffac8.jpg

Also, I am lowered 1" Fortune Auto 500 coilovers which mean I'm at their max height!

Didn't intend on doing that; but you will have full control of your adjustments.
Hard to beat the SPL quality component's. As I haven't gotten any yet / but only praises heard about their products.

Is that an AWD 370?

Sorry I completely forgot about the offsets, the guy selling them didn't tell me them right off the bat. So the wheel specs are 20x9.5 +35 and 20x11 +38.. How else would I say lowering kit lol I guess I could have said Swift Springs but as I said I don't know if 1 inch drop would be too much or not cause I don't wanna roll my fenders. And I know those offsets are high but I could get 15mm spacers? Or what would yall recommend and for the tires I was asking what's the biggest I could go without scraping lol.

Offsets aren't terrible; as you could push them out a tad (if you desire) & that depends on how low you go & what camber you're willing to run.
Heck; that 11"+38 is practically in the center of the huge rear fenderwells-with the tire's stood
Upright & minimal negative camber.
You said getting a deal on wheels; unsure what you plan to spend on tire's? Have you picked outa mfg.? As they will vary.
Going by spec on Michelins PSS; 265/35,305/30 are a good fitment on these width wheels.
They are 27.3/27.2" diameter & shouldn't rub anything.
Didn't know if you wanted to be lower profile than that...price swing & sizes vary a lot w/20's.

Deqos 08-11-2017 06:52 AM

I want beefy tires haha, I wanted the Bridgestone re11s not sure about sizes as I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all this. But I'm willing to put money into good tires as I'd rather spend now than have shitty tires mess up and end up paying more later on.
