Have you ever tried to fit the rears on the front to see if they clear the Brembo's?

Lol. Care to read my post again, a little slower? :)

20x10 Niche Milan front and rear

...

Yes, they clear, with plenty of room to spare. About 3/8"-1/2" of space btween the caliper and the spoke, and about the same amount of room between the wheel outer rim and the side of the strut:

hahaha that's what I get for posting while working on other tasks. Honestly just looked at the image and the angle of the front wheels hid the concavity of the 20x10's. I was strongly considering a set of the 20x10 +40MM Veronas, but then these 20x10 AMR's showed up on the used market for $500 and there are few wheels I hate more than the stock 18" 07-09 GT500 wheels so I made the move.

I'm not worried about a few dollars extra. I just want what is going to look and work the best.

I'm thinking Niche Verona Anthracite 20x9 front and 20x10 rear. I really like the concave rear.



Which wheels did you end up getting?

The niche veronas are my next choice and want to go 20x10 all around.

But that Mustang in the post has 20x10.5 which only come with 30mm which will not fit on our rears .

Not sure if pictures just can't capture it but unless you go with 20x10.5, the 20x10s don't look concaved at all.

I ended up going a different direction and got the boss 302s wheels with a 305 Michelin pilot super sport on the rear and a 255 on the front.

I have the same wheels with a 285 on them, does the 305 fit right?

Any of you guys running the Niche 20x10 in any style care to share if rear fitment keeps the wheel inside the wheel well? I see that the offset for the 20x10 is 40mm which makes it a close call. I would be running 285/30/20's (27.85" tall x 11.42 tread width) on the rear and a 245-40-20 on front.

And GABE! Wow those 10s on the front look nice. I was skeptical but hmmmmmmm...you said you have some Niche wheels available? What color?

Looking st Gabe's car looks like they fit perfect.

Lowered on Steeda Sport springs, 20x10 Niche wheels, 40mm offset, rear 305/35/20's ... this is what I was getting until I lifted the back of the car about 0.75-1" ...

As far as how those wheels/tires fit, yes they stuck out a bit, but I think that was only the tire, and a 275-285 tire would not rub:

20160128_Niche8.jpg



I really wish the Niches were a 48 offset, like the AMR's I had last year, since the same 10" width with the same 305/35/20 Nitto 555R's fit perfectly with the same Steeda Sport springs, with no rubbing:

The way the car was sitting here was tucking the left rear tire into the fender, something that most likely would've caused an "interference issue" with the 40mm-offset Niches:

This last pic shows the tale of 10" wheels front and rear, but the fronts have 275's on them and the rears have 305's ... the front tires therefore fit perfectly square (even with a tiny amount of stretch which is ideal for front fitments, for cornering), while the 305 rears are bulging out, which on a 40mm-or-smaller-offset wheel will cause fender rub/contact, but on these 48mm-offset wheels, like I said above, there were no issues:

Man that means a lot. Thanks millions. It is clear if I do a +40offset on a 20x10 I can't go any wider than 285/35/20's and keep the tread inside the wheel wells. Thanks millions. The Niches is definitely out on anything wider than a 285 from my persoctive. Looks like I may take a closer look at he AM MMC 551C rim that has copied the Vossen offset to the T on the 20x10. You New England guys are ok...no matter what they say about ya! LOL!
