Work Gnosis GS2 Rim Size

Jmigs81 · 07-30-2012, 08:15 PM

The only upgrade I have done is swift springs.

I ordered Work Gnosis GS2 20X10.5 rear and 20X9.5 fronts. This is what the shop recommended. I have noticed people have put on 11 in the rear. Is the .5 difference going to give me trouble? I told the shop I ordered from 3 times that other people put 20X11 on the back and they kept saying that 10.5 was perfect. I just want to make sure the rims are going to be fine and not look goofy..... Thank you.

11in and even 12in is fine on our cars but the offset is very important
are you planning to drop your car?

Jmigs81 · 07-30-2012, 08:34 PM

I put swift springs on it......that's it. They took that in account for the rims .....

22 offset for the front and 18 offset for the rear.

They wheels area already at the house....Is 10.5 going to look goofy? This shop has already proven to be sub par.

Which 'shop' ... if you don't mine me asking?

what offsets? the brakes wont clear is they not right

Alexshen1 · 07-31-2012, 11:42 PM

nvm i see it, you probably need to stretch your tires though

Jmigs81 · 08-01-2012, 05:05 AM

Down below are the tires I purchased....I sure hope I don't have to stretch them. They were not cheap and they were the ones the company recommended to put on those rims. Everything I have read about stretching tires is negative.

ouch stretched tires = i dont like. with a 9.5 and 22 front you shouldnt need to stretch. you could run a 275 tire up front.

in the rear you could run a 305 and still add a 5mm spacer.

20x9.5+22 & 20x10.5+18 is fine, i'd put a spacer on the rear 5-10mm's. The tires are going to be a bit streched. You could put the 275/30 on the front and go 305/25 on the rear and be better off. Just my

Should i say i don't agree and it won't be stretched? bang2.gif

Jmigs81 · 08-01-2012, 04:31 PM

LOL Thanks guys for your help.....I would rather not stretch......losing quality over looks is not something I would like to do. Do I need the spacer in the back so it doesn't rub or so it's flush with the fender?

You don't need spacers it's just for looks.

Alexshen1 · 08-01-2012, 04:52 PM

i talked to ravspec yesterday about the same exact setup, except i ordered the 19 instead of 20s, specially with your springs, i THINK u would need some sort of addtional modifications. the setup i have is 19x9.5 +22 front and 19x10.5 +15 r, setup is not flush because mark said if i go anymore on the offsets, i would have problem rubbing. AND you have 20s so i duno man.

19 or 20 doesnt really matter if you pick the right tire profiles.
