Looks great. That's a lot of bling bling. You might have done this already but have you reached out to Strasse Forge? Might bd the easier route.

Best of luck.

What kind of offset are you looking for..also what are you trying to achieve out of curiousity????

Im new to the wheel & Tire world and dont know all that much. Any education would be helpful.

Thanks

I had the strasse sm8 wheels in 20X10 +15 and 20X12 +0 but I was running a 255/30/20 in front and a 305/25/20 in the rear. Even with that set up I was running a ton of negative camber,and while it looked sick parked and driving, it just was not practical for a daily driven vehicle. About half of my 12" wheel actually made contact with the road surface. Not only that the tires were stretched. Mildly but still stretched. I want to run around a 35 and 40 series respectively. My current set up is 19X9.5 +12 and 19X11.5 +11 and they fit perfectly. I'll be going to a 265/40/19 in the front and a 305/35/19 or possibly a 315 in the rear. My goal is to keep the suspension within factory spec for camber and have a meatier tire set up. While the "hellaflush" looks cool its not functional on any level, especially for a sports car IMO. But to each their own, I tried it and decided against it. As far as Strasse as a product and company I have no complaints, they are quality and Mike (Bullit@UAM) gave me lots of information. Even though I didn't buy the wheels from him ( they were his old wheels though). I would suggest talking to him, letting him know what your needs are ie daily driver looks track etc and figuring out what set up is best for you. Offsets are everything to get the right fitment and not rub, and achieve the look and function you're going for.

Those are really tall tires.

Thank Xplicit! you are completely right. the wheels you bought had Major clearance for a LARGE!!! BBK and given your base brakes they definitely could have had a better pad height which would have resulted in the same sick look without the crazy camber! I am running a 12.5 -#'s now but I am also wider than stock. Several members have some sick rides such as metz who are rocking big lips and flush fitments.

Agreed on a wide tire those aspect ratios would be unheard of! 20" wheels in 305 and larger typically run a 25 aspect ratio.

Xplicit97 · 08-23-2012, 12:23 AM

I wasn't going to go that high with 20s just a bit wider.. Like a 315 or 325 and wider in the front, but since I went with 19s I'm going with a higher profile
