What do you have lined up for them at the powdercoat shop?

Im going to have them done in grey. Im just debating on whether I want to go gloss or matte. Im gonna pick from their wall of colors tomorrow and let it roll.

Finally got everything mounted up and installed. The wheels again are 20x10 +40 with 285/35 all the way around. I had some rubbing issues in the rear and hade to pull the fenders a tiny bit. I need to slightly roll the fronts up a little more as well to keep the fronts from rubbing. I think next time Im going to run a smaller tires.

275/35s on 10s would have been perfect at those offsets

Yeah unfortunately I learned that the hard way. I went back and forth for at least a week before finally deciding to try out the 285's. I like a real meaty fitment, but this was just a little too much. It's driveable now, but the next round will definitely be 275's.

huge amount of money and time went towards my wheel setups in trial and error. at the end of the day its only important to you when the final product is put together. i dig it as is. good work

Out of curiosity... Any 20x10s that clear brembos without spacers? I am running a 20x9.5 squared setup with spacer up front but i get a lot of steering wheel "shake" when i'm around or over 60mph that i did not get with my 19" RTRs. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks

These are exactly what they look like. I'm afraid that if i go with the 1" the wheels will stick out way to far

What's the size spec on the ID? If they are not hubcentric 70.5, they might be tough to center. I just picked up a set of hubcentric 5mm off of Amazon. They were a little more, but I don't think I will have an issue with wobble since they are pretty much a perfect fit on the hub.

They are universal and the hub is extremly wide. I'm placing an order for hubcentrics (70.3) for my 2011.

those are not hubcentric which is main reason for the wheel shake at certain speeds. youll be much happier with hubs...

as for not knowing what size spacer you need ill try to keep it simple.

- Make sure your car is on level ground..
- Hang a peice of string from the center/top of your fender so it hangs infront of your wheel..
-tie a washer or some kind of weight to the bottom of the string so it pulls the string tight downward..
- Measure from the edge of your wheel... or Lip.. to the string and make note of that measurement..
- an inch is 24.99 mm so lets just say 25mm.
- if your wheel sits an inch or more inside your fender your best bet would be a 1 inch or 25mm spacer. Remember HUBCENTRIC OR GTFO


Ill post a pic of mine even though I imagine your wheels have better offset than mine..

I have the stock 19" premium wheels. they sat exactly 28mm under the fenders and looked worse than donald trumps hair.. so that had to be fixed..

much tuck, so gross,


bam, 25mm cheap AM spacers... (Because i couldnt afford H&Rs)
BUT THEY ARE HUBCENTRIC



this may not look much differnt to you but i look at it every day lol. you can really tell in the rear tires how flush they are.. from the before first picture to this one above..


all better.. that rear tires looks all messed up with neg camber but it wasnt a level lot..


anyways i hope this helps
