Ok so I found some 20x8.5 inch rims and I really want them but they only have 2 with a 38mm offset. These wheels are also available in a 32mm and 45mm offset, would I be able to maybe do a staggered offset on the wheels? I'm gunna run 245/35/20s and roll my rear fenders to make sure I have clearance but would It look weird with 2 different offsets and would it work?
 


do it 32mm on rear and 45mm on fronts it should look sick:th_thumbsup-wink: what wheels you thinkin about? you mite not haft to roll our rear fenders and a 245/35/20 is the best fit tire for gps
 
is that gunna give me more rim lip on either the front or back?

Oh and I'm lowered in intrax springs and I have spring blockers in the back so I'm not stock height.

more lip on the rear rims,and im not familiar with lowering cars im into them lifted lol, maybe bio will step in , i wouldnt picture any problems as long as you roll the rear fenders
 
youre gonna have a hard time running any of those with how low you are. i would highly suggest you run +45mm all around the car so you are as safe as possible with not being all up in the fender's business.
 
how low are you slammed? I think you could fit the +38 if you roll fenders..

What are you wanting to do. 45 front, 32 rear??

I really dont see the point with same width wheels..
 


Well I took Bios advice and ordered the 45mm offset. The wheels are 20x8.5 Stern ST11s and I'm gunna run Nexen N3000 245/35/20. I'll post pics as soon as everything comes in and I get them mounted and balanced.

Hey Bio, if you want some pics to add to your lowering thread feel free to use mine on my cardomain from when I had my 18s and any new ones I post with the 20s. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2052230/8
 
Oh they're Hyper Black in color too. Like I said man feel free to borrow pics, it would be an honor to be in that thread lol
 


Well Bio you are the man! These wheels and tires fit perfect and the ride is awesome, ill post pics as soon as I take some. I do have just a bit of rubbing if I turn and hit a little bump at the same time but its not the fender its the plastic inner wheel well right behind the tires. There's a spot where the wheel well kinda sticks out towards the front of the car and that's where its catching slightly. Has anyone sanded the plastic down in that spot to remedy the problem?
 
turn into it more often. it will wear itself down. :D

also, you could just use a razor blade and cut some of the inner fender away.
 
yea thats what i was thinking of doing was shaving it down, im gunna jack it up tomorrow and see if i can tell for sure where its rubbing and try to remedy the problem. It's not custom unless you have to cut stuff lol
 
either way, post some pictures. i want to se your car with those wheels on it with intrax. so low, so sexy.
 
ill probly get u pics tomorrow cuz itll get a bath and a wax then lol. I think im gunna have to try to roll my front fenders just a touch because im getting a slight rub on the fender lip if I make a turn like at a stop light or turning onto a side road but it only catches if I turn a little quick and catch a bump too. If I hit a bump going straight, no rub at all. Hopefully I can get rid of this little rub because I dont want to change springs, the stance is perfect lol
 


wee need teh pics! and yeah, slight fender-roll should fix the problems. good old heat gun and rubber mallet.
