Some function?

I have more contact patch than probably anyone even with -2.5 camber. Just right for the turbos.

I am always amused by the misinformation on here sometimes.

Only Z with 13 inch wheels and 345s. Its all about the offsets!

Carry on!

20x13 + 30 will fit a 345 quite easily. maybe up to a 33 offset depending on the actual width of the tire.

main reason i chose 325 and a 275 is that those matched the OEM tire sizes the closest. (overall diameter)

I know and your setup was also one of a kind.

FYI My post was directed at some other particular people, not you!

I know. Just saying that specifically for other people. As also mentioned above i dont like the 305/25/20 as its quite a bit shorter. Personally i'd rather go taller than shorter. At least you'd have a better ride and less chance of damaging the rim.

Ha I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the most informed person on the forum. And I, in no way mean any disrespect at all. I think your car is sick and I love your wheels, and if you were still looking to sale them I'd definitely try to buy them.

If its as functional as you say and you don't have much problems running a wheel that wide, then that's music to my ears because again I love your set up. I've spent countless hours trying to find a wheel I REALLY liked, and then I saw yours. Guess I'll give ISS Forged a call on Monday

So, thanks to member Daisuke 149, I was able to get some recommended tire sizes of 275/30/20 and 335/35/20 on 20x10 and 20x11 rims, respectively. (Thanks again Daisuke!) I was wondering if anyone could tell me if i will have any issues lowering on springs between 1-1.5 inches in the front and back with this setup. Thanks in advance for the help!

335/35/20 must be a typo.


335/25/20 on a 11?

That is way outside recommended range for a 11 inch wide wheel IMHO.

Good luck!

i agree. 335/35 is a huge sidewall which would never fit. 325/25 or 305/30 are whats recommended for 11. if you go to any tire manufacturers website and look up the sizes on tires, it shows you recommeneded wheel widths that those tire sizes shoild go on.

If you want widest wheel possible, then 325/25/20 which is still too wide for an 11 but doable.

Ok thanks guys.... I appreciate the help..... One last question..... Any way to know if an inch to inch and a half drop will cause any issues with this setup without just trying it?

if anything, the drop will help your cause with some camber. now a drop at adjusted back to stock specs could cause you issues but you shouldnt have to run too much camber.
