Yes, they're sunken in. Get spacers

Never trust anyone, very few people give a crap.

Always double check everything yourself.

They should be able to exchange your tires after one day.

The assumption we are making here is that the tire you bought is available in the size you want.

Different problem, but ya they will look better with spacers.

What are the offsets on your rims right now? I can figure out the size spacers you need to make the depth look even. Will not help you with the diameter of course.

i'm not too sure about the offset Cooltoy, but as you say, it wont make a difference, it will still look smaller than the front, i will go to the shop tomorrow since the guy who sold them to me is off today, i really hope they can change the tires... this is stressful!!!

The offsets should be marked on the rim (probably on the inside).

What kind are they?

Are you lowered or going to lower the car?

Falken Azenis FR453... i couldnt find the offset...

again, Thank you Cooltoy for taking the time...

cooltoy · 01-15-2014, 01:01 PM

Sorry, I meant - what kind of wheel.

ituan · 01-15-2014, 01:06 PM

the concave face is what you're talking about, i'm assuming. because the rears have a lower offset thereby giving you a concave face, it will look slightly smaller. unfortunately thats how it'll look.

ah sorry, 20" Savini BM4 wheels and car is not lowered just yet but i will be doing that next...

Your tire is available in 285/30/20, which will make you overall diameter the same as the front. That is your only other choice for the rears. Or get a smaller tire for the front.

here you go, found the name, Savini Black Di Forza BM4 BM-4 Titanium (Concave) i will see if the shop is kind enough to replace the ones i have for the ones you are suggesting, 285/30/20 so that at least it looks even...

cooltoy · 01-15-2014, 01:18 PM

Keep in mind that stock sport set up the front is 679 mm and the rear is 675 mm. So even stock it is not the same.

but on the stock wheels you dont see that much of a difference as you can see on these aftermarket ones, do you suggest i try to see if the shop upgrades the rear wheels only to 285 or 275/35/20? would that make a big difference?

thanks Cooltoy, appreciate the education here...

cooltoy · 01-15-2014, 01:39 PM

Looks like the wheel come in custom offsets. Front from +15 to +50, rear +25 to +50.

You sort of need to know what you bought. Somebody along the line has that info.

Yah, 14 mm difference now vs 4 mm with stock. I would probably go with 285/30/20. That gets you closer to stock numbers. But if you want to fill more of the gap, then you need to change the front to a larger diameter.

That is why I asked if you are lowered or plan to lower.
