I have the same rims. Your tire spec. should be standard.
My tires are 255/35/20 and 285/30/20. Only spec. which fits my rims for these tires, a bit wider. Both specs. are alright.

The wheel width plus the offset are quite aggressive. So be careful when you parallel park and turn and tight driveways. I scratched my rims many times at those places.

Yup. The width of the F14s for concave is one of the reason that I ditched them for something else......

I thought the main reason why you ditched the F14 is the color combo. A blob of grey doesn't look too good, huh?

Wukelvin, I think you'll want 9 instead of 9.5 for the front. 9 will fit as is and is the semi concave most folks are running. If you did 9.5, it would be the deep concave in the front, and from my research, would need you to either pull or roll the front fender.

I ordered some F14s as well (still waiting for shipment) and was really trying to see if I could get the 9.5 to work in the front so I can take advance of the deep concave model... but my research pointed to the fact that you'll need to do significant mods to the front fenders and that 9.5 in the front might create unwanted "tracking" and impact performance.
Maybe in the future they'll find a way to offer deep concave in the 9 inch width. |

agree, it's bit grey than what I expect, but looks more sporty IMO. anyone can share your tyre pressure for 255/35/20 and 285/30/20? |

I just have my pressure set to what's recommended. You can check out the label at your door jamb.

Depends on the road condition at where you drive. 21" will be running 30 front and 25 rear profile tires, very low profile. If where you drive has roads like us in Hong Kong, I would recommend you to go with the 20".
