I am in the process of purchasing a set of 20 x 7.5's w/ +42 offset. These wheels are the skinniest 20's w/ the highest offset I could find that I actually liked. Im gonna go with the 225/35/20 cause the 30 series on our heavy cars is just to much. I currently have 20 x 8.5's w/ +38 offset that came on the car when I purchased it. They scrub even when i rolled the fenders, but I expected that. I have somewhat measured on the rear and even though I have my fenders rolled, I still think I'm gonna scrub in the rear with these new wheels. I have seen many of yall slammed, tuckin' 20's with 8 or 9 wide wheels. Is it all about camber or what? Please teach me the way ! ! !

I've been reading alot on the forums but haven't really gotten a straight forward answer. Thanks for the help in advance!

 

7.5" wheels on an RL=FAIL.

Why would you get something that's thinner than OEM?

You should get a setup that is wider, and then work it to where you can still tuck, if that's what you want to do.

 

I'll give you a straightforward answer.

Its stupid. Stick to 18's at the most. And don't complain when your gas mileage is 14 mpg

 

hey hey now. I'm on 19's (n getting 18 mpg average :P )

lol

no but really if you want to run 20's your going to have to invest in front n rear camber kits that will let you pull 20's in along with rolling fenders.


total cost for camber kits insralled n rolling fenders = 650 plus or minus depending if you do the work urself etc.

 

I've had 20's on my car for 5 years and gas mileage is 17/city. stock width is 7 so i'm not skinnier than stock. I'm running 8.5 wide now and its just too wide. I'm not gonna argue with anyone about whether 20's are too big or if I believe that 18's with that fat tire look like garbage...to each their own. Just asking a question. OldHatch: If I went to 19's I'd have to lower it to fill the wheel gap...is ur's lowered? I'm really just wanting to clear the fender lip. I don't really scrub too bad as is w/ the 245/35/20's, but want to be able to carry 4 passengers with a full tank of gas and not worry about it. My avatar pic shows some 22 x 8.5's that my friend let me try on...lol. Looked huge but no way i was getting away with that!

 

What kind of suspension are you using on your RL??? is it Air?

 

that first RL is gorgeous

 

type Rims are these bro?
