Question about rim size
i was thinking of changing either to 18" or 20" but i cant figure out what offset wheels to look for. i want a thick tire set up like 305 in the rear and 275 in the front. i know if i go 18 it would be possible but i dont know if i can find any rim that will clear the sport package brakes. what offset do i need to get the 18s? and if i get 20s will i be able to fit 275/305's. i know 20s would clear the brakes no problem but what offset do i need for it. also i dont want to use spacers and i dont want to sacrifice handling. would it make my life easier if i went with 20s? i think i wouldnt sacrifice the handling because i would be able to get something with almost the same offset if not the same.

Yes you can fit 275/305 on 20's. Here's a picture of my setup. Currently I'm running 255/30/20 F and 295/25/20 R. These were the only tires available at Nitto at the time. But I will be running 275/30/20 F and 305/25/20 R as they become available.
Corrected. Thanks for catching it. Just wanted to make sure everyone is paying attention. Last edited by Dee@Amplified; 04-08-2009 at 05:19 PM. |

Do you mean 295 rear? I can't see a 305 and a 395 fitting on the same rim. Not even sure if 395 exists...
