karps Member 14 Member For: 14y 2m 16d Posted 01/02/11 12:46 AM Share Posted 01/02/11 12:46 AM I went to a tyre joint last week.I told the guy I want a new set of 20's and to get some lowering done, also told him that I dont want it to scrub.He is certain that he can fit 20x8.5 (245's)in the front and 20x10 (275's) in the rear with SSL's all round, with out any scrubbing.I am getting it lowered this weekend with my current 20's which are 245's all round. So I will let you know how that goes.The following week I will be fitting the new rims, hoping they wont scrub. Will post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car is lowered on Kings SL & SSL with Bilstein shocks. Wheel clearances are very tight but nothing scrubs, guards have not been modified at all. Note that the front does run a 3mm spacer to clear brakes safely. Ideally you would run a 235/30 on the front as the 245/35 comes very close to the suspension arm but unfortunatley I have been unable to find a manufacturer that makes a decent tyre in this size with a matching 275 rear that is load rated for our cars.

The rims will have a 35 offset front and back.I plan on lowering it in a few weeks time and an wondering if I the rears will rub at all once lowered?What you are planning on fitting will fit perfect and the FG has no guard to roll. 245/35 on the front and 275/30 on the rear. Do it youll love it. Try KU31 they are decent tyres Edited 14/04/11 11:32 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strettan Member 36 Member For: 15y 7m 15d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 14/04/11 02:36 PM Share Posted 14/04/11 02:36 PM I know of a bloke running 20x10 front and 20x10 rear, using tien coilovers and runs track and drift events. The thing sits like a dream, and he doesn't have an issue at all. the tires are rather stretch compaired to what I would run. Never the less it's been done.
