If you buy the right size tire for your 20's and get the right offset for the car, there's no need to roll the fenders.

 

my offset is 40 so how much can i drop?
my tires are 225/35 20's bc my rim is 20 x 7.5

 

i dont like how skinny my tires are either.
what is the widest tires i can put on a 20 x 7.5 rim?

 

The size wheel all depends on the style of wheel you want.

A wheel like this \/ would look good in a 18" because it is a full face wheel and it looks large.



A wheel like this \/ in an 18" would look a lot smaller having a lip.




I would love to have 19", but in a way prefer the 18" do to tire cost and performance. With the right set of 18" and a drop the car would look dead sexy.


I would like to see a set of these on the TL.

 

OK here go my pics... first time postin pics so I hope i get the link right.

This is from eye level... Well my eye level I guess.


Her is a shot from the ground up. After taking it... I do see how some would say I could go lower... But I think its OK for my taste, after all how many people will be looking at my car from 2feet off the ground?

 

^^^ Nice Hope you don't have potholes tho, I just had to replace a tire on my TL because of a big one on the freeway. It would suck to have to replace a bent rim too...

 

Its only a 235 to 245 difference from front to back. I think it looks OK. Besides its not like im pullin 10" in the rear. My wheels are 8.5 all the way around

 

I agree with bimmerman. My 20s look WAAAYYY biger than the 20s my friend has on his 350z... cuz he has a 4 inch lip.

 

I know... my wheel shop told me to keep the tire pressure close to max at all time to prevent hitting the rims on potholes & bumps.

 

lol, I didn't mean to offend you. My comment was mostly for the folks that run the fat lip in back with 275s and the small lip in front with 245s

Can you even notice a difference from 235 to 245? You should try putting the 245 on front and the 235 on back... GM staggered the Grand Prix GXP, by putting 255 on front and 225 on back, with 8" rims up front and 7" rims on back... The car ended up being more neutral handling, and out handled the chevy version of the same car that that 245s all around or whatever.

 

Max as in the pressure on the door panel (34psi or whatever), or the Max pressure written on the tire (44psi or whatever)?

 

max on the tire... Im running like 39 or 40 psi all around. Oh & we tried 245 on the front but got some rubbing during accelerated turns.
