Need some help from the wheel gurus

Yoichi0726 · 01-02-2016, 11:41 AM

Hello all.

I'm not much of a poster but am on here almost everyday.
So I am in a slight dilemma.

I have these wheels which are Forgestar F10's in
20X9 +18
20X10.5 +35

I bought these a month ago with 255/35's and 275/30's.
My car has the XDrive and am well aware of the differences in tire diameter and am looking to change out either the fronts to 245's or the rears to 295's.

Now my question is, I am going to drop the car with H&R springs and it seems the front will rub with 255's but I like the meat on it since the roads in NYC are not the best. So do you guys think a 255/295 combo will work with the said offsets or should I go 245/275 and call it a day. The last thing I want to do is rub.

Much thanks in advance gentleman!!!!

Some pictures for reference:

I'd change to 245.

This is me trying on spacers, making the offset ET16 (2mm more aggresive than yours). 20x9 with 255/35/20 tire.

Yikes!
245's it is!

what offsets do you currently run up front?

I've also seen Forgestar F14's SDC running 20X9.5s +11 up front which should be much more aggressive than what I am running.

hmmm

ET26. In the pic the suspension is compressed and the wheel slightly turned to show when it would rub.
