Reviving an old thread although always a relevant one for readers of this board. I just put on some 20" Niche Apex which I do love the look, although also feel the rears stick out just a smidgen. Running 8" in the front and 10" in the back. Tire in the rear is a 275/30. No problems with the front....nice tuck.

Unfortunately I don't think there's anything I can do about the rear, iit's not all that bad and many say that it's just fine and if I lowered ( which I'm still in the fence) it would look fine. Having difficulty with that as I probably have a little negative camber in there too which if fixed would exacerbate the issue. Again, it's not much but bugging me a bit

When this happens do most of us just accept it, do something more drastic like fender rolling, or go ahead and lower, hoping for the best?

Did you lower ur ML yet? J/k

Lets try this again. I want you off the fence
another 20 inch tire and offset question-image.jpg
Niche Vincenza
20x9 +38 235/35/20
20x10 +40 275/35/20 Flushed Fitment
Vogtland Springs/oem shocks/struts - 1.5 in F&R

Niche GT-5 (YOUR SET UP)
20x8.5 +34 235/35 20
20x10 +40 (Flushed Fitment) 275/30 20

No rubbing, no fender rolling, a lil negative camber which I'd take over ML status anyday.

Just wanted to help you get off the fence. I know you've been itchin to lower your car because its the look you wanted until you heard voices .

I really hope your car is already lowered.
