Alright guys Im not looking to go through the 339 pages in this thread. I'm looking to find out what is the most aggressive fitment I can get on stock suspention without rolling my fenders or doing anything crazy... I am currently riding 20 x 8.5..looking to see What else I can get into, I really like the flush fitment look but I know that I'm probally not going to get that extreme without changing my suspension.. If I could thatd be awesome... Side note I have a set of 15mm spacers I'd like to use on the rear, please take that into consideration.

I'm talking width, offset etc. Basically just direct replacement with no issues. I'm asking in regards to stock suspension and height. From what I'm reading, the 20s might not be easy to do, but either way, I'm curious. Please educate me or point me in the right direction.
I'm not sure the offset but I hav 20s on my 8 with stock suspention no rubbing what so ever .. 245/30/20 are the tires on... I personally like the way some 20s look on the 8

Specs: 18x9.5 +20 All around with 225/45's.
I'm willing to roll fenders. I'm really just worried about the front, will it rub on turns?

I'm assuming you are lowered enough to pull off those specs and yes it will rub because they are tall. Shorter sidewall and a wider tire would be better for looks and fix the rubbing issue. You have to be low to pull it off though

Ok thanks guys. I haven't purchased them yet because they come in that setup or I can also choose the fronts to be 18 by 8.75 +20 offset. Would that make my life easier? Lol

18x10 +30 w/265's rolled fenders w/slight tab grinding


If your specs are more narrow - add spacers
If your specs are wider - decrease tire width

Seems legit.

not very, 15mm spacers would make it totally flush if lowered

Stock height
F: 18x9.5 +0 225/45/18
R: 18x10.5 +0 275/35/18 (maybe, not sure on exact tire size yet)

might potentially be lowered, but coilovers if i do.

if i knew the answer to that do you think i would have asked? this is the thread to ask questions like that correct?

maybe an explanation on why it wont fit, or how i could make it fit or if any other tire sizes would make it fit, or if dropping it would make it fit, or if a slightly higher offset would make it fit.

Do you understand what any of those numbers you posted mean? If not, do more research.

I don't have any spoons left to feed you
