I'm trying to get 20X10 with a 40 offset but i want to run 245/35/20 do i need to roll up my fenders???

vivmike

No. That is a very weak offset.

AllBlackTL

Well vossen recommend me 20X10.5 with 44 offset but that's with staggered set up

vivmike

10" +40 and 245/35R20 will leave you with a huge gap man. Go with the 10.5" in the rears at least.

AllBlackTL

now i don't know if i want to get them...i tried the X5 wheels they are 9.5 with a low off set and i didn"t see much of a gap...

Booya4139

Lol, foolish comment.

Booya4139

Any gap you see is a function of ride height, not offset. Your setup will be flush to the fenders.

I don't like the look of 'poke' which seems to be what the peanut gallery is suggesting.

Mr Marco

^WTF are you talking about?

Love the d'bags that chime in twice a year, insult members with real experience and knowledge, then disappear for another six months.

AllBlackTL

i just want to be on the safe side but with a nice look

vivmike

OFFSET is everything noob. I said nothing of ride height gap.

Booya4139

x10 +40 is flush, ya you can run a spec like fyah that has poke and camber, but this guy just wants to set it and forget it rather than pulling fenders.

I have 20x8.5 +40 and it is pretty flush an extra .75 inches out w a x10 even more.

Booya4139

Aren't you busy trading your x10.5's for 11's?

"Because anything done well will be done to excess by someone else"

vivmike

10 +40 is NOT flush with 245/35 tires. Maybe 275/30 TIRES are flush but not the rim lips. Which looks like a dune buggy.

OP...245/35 tires will look great on 10" wheels. Just know you can get away with +20 easily.

If you want to shave and pull fenders, which he doesn't....

Im sorry....what size wheels are YOU running? Exactly. stfu.

[QUOTE=vivmike;14582704]20x8.5 +40 w 255/35/20 vredestein ultrac sessanta's. look great handle great, very happy with them

vivmike

LMFAO! You sir are not the one to be giving folks here advise on offsets and fender rolling.

Booya4139

i gave good advice.... Telling him to go 10.5 +20 is bad advice for someone not wanting to deal with fender work.

I wish you the best of luck in achieving the most non functional wheel setup on the site. You'll be hardparking soon!

vivmike

I understand, but I'm sure he wants his TL to actually look better than stock. Not the other way around....like yours.

Booya4139

like putting on 3 piece forged miro 111's...

or maybe a carbon fiber rudolph nose.... or even better +5 hp tein stickers.... Cause you don't want them to see the miro's and assume they are cut springs....

potmilkz

but seriously 20x10 +24.. be careful of the fronts.. the rears are fine..

AllBlackTL

I know the rear I can do a very low offset but I don't want to do a staggered setup because my car is AWD I'm not trying to have the Awd system going crazy lol

manutd

I was the same whereas i didnt want to do fender work... not yet at least But the set up im running is vossen cv7 20x9+35 square with 245/35/20. No fender work necessary and theres no huge gap it fills the fenders quite well.




Hope this helps

Booya4139

looks great. nice fitment.

manutd

Thanks man!

AllBlackTL

i like the fitment your car look perfect...you lower your car?

manutd

Thank you! Yes sir, on Tein SS. If you're going to lower the car go with coils it will save you a lot more money in the long run.

AllBlackTL

i have H&R spring on my 04 Tl so i was thinking of doing the same thing to my 2010..

potmilkz

dont make the mistake of getting springs only.. spend 1k.. get yourself full coils.. makes a big difference.. instead of your car getting stiffer from springs only.. the full coils makes your car smoother..

take my advice.. few people already regret going springs since they got the coils and they did say that if they could do it all over again.. they would have went full coils first.

wreak

I agree, springs are only a short term solution that most often lead to long term problems. With coilovers you'll get something designed with some R&D and long term you'll thank yourself, just make sure to budget for a camber kit.

vivmike

And keep in mind that your stock shocks/struts are CHEAP and won't last long on just springs.

AllBlackTL

Thank you guys...to install the coilover I'm guessing is basecally the same thing as the 3G tl
