Flush or not?
 
I have a base Z and I'm looking at upgrading to 20's. Are these offsets flush or at least aggressive enough for the z? Here are the sizes/offsets:

20 X 8.5; 20 Offset
20 X 10; 25 Offset

I'm also assuming these wheels won't cause any rubbing.

Thanks in advance for help/guidance.

Definitely not aggressive enough in those widths. You're going to be tucking like a mother

i would say no...they'll look sunk in..u do not want this.

Great, thanks for the heads up. What would both of your recommendations be for widths/offsets?

Recommendations?! That's my biggest concern is it not being flush; sticking out a bit is good too but not too much though....

the 8.5's going to suck for running 245 width. but it's up to you.

anyway, if you're on stock suspension it will look pretty flush in the front but the rear will appear a little sunken in. but if you add 10mm or 15mm spacers on the back you can matchup to wat the front would look like.

but remember the gap will be that much more emphasized when you run aggressive offset. might want to consider lowering and running wider wheels with lower offsets from the start.

Great, thanks for the information. I'm not too big on spacers so I'll look at an 11-inch wheel in the back and a 10 in the front.

^^ there you go! :tup:

for the 10 up front look for mid +20's offsets

for the 11 in rear look for +0 offsets
