Looking at the Vossen wheels I see some of them come in a 9" width. I love the concave look of the 10.5" but like the idea of being able to rotate the wheels around.

If the wheel is 20x9 et 35, how big of a spacer is needed to make it as flush as possible?

 

You will not need a spacer to make it flush,that size will probably stick out pass the fender a little on its own.

 

Just look at nexson's TL, hes running x9 +38 in the front and is a flush fitment. Now on the rear going x9 +38 i would try a straight fit but probably with a 10mm spacer and also depending tire size.

 

There's nothing to lose if buy the spacers afterward.

Put the new wheels and tires on the car first, then you can get a perfect measurement for the size of the required spacers.

Different brands and models of tires, even when labeled with the same size designation, can differ up to 1/4" in actual tire width after mounted.

 

Anything more than +35 with those wheels your gonna rub!!!

 

You are right diff tires giving a diff look,I didnt notice that until i started researching stretch tires. Turns out many ppl are goin with cheaper brands because they stretch better.


only when you have your own garage and you are diy kinda guy it ok to explore on your car.


Personally its very difficult for me to do a lot of trial and error as this means more money spent if things dont work correctly the first time.

 

Depending on the makes and models, even when unmounted, same-sized tires can have vastly different tire contact widths.

I found that out many years back, when I was shopping for tires. I had 5 different models of tires with size 225/40/18, from 3 different tire brands, all lined up and then started measuring their actual contact widths. To my surprise, the min and the max widths differed by about 1/4 of an inch.

This is due to the particular tire construction of each individual tire models. Some models have rounded shoulders, and thus narrower contact width. The others have sharp and square shoulders, and as a result, much wider contact width.

This 1/4" difference may end up determining if that tire is gonna rub the fenders or not.

That's why even with the exact same setup, some people rub and some don't, just because they're using different tire models. Rounded-shouldered tires are much easier to get away with rubbing issues than square-shouldered tires.

 

You mean anything less than +35 right?!

 

Yes my bad!!! Anything less than +35.
