Quote: Thanks! Ride was good, no complaints at all. However, with my current setup on 19’s, the ride is honestly better.
19x8.5f 255/35
19x10r 295/30

Love the color of your c43! Mine’s brilliant blue.

I was thinking the same thing, but saw you commented the ride is better on 19s.

The photo above is on your 19s correct?

Quote: Yes, a lot of test fitting back then. The fronts were the initial problem. Finally, i think +30-32, was where everyone were for the fronts. The rear was more forgiving.

Anyways, here you go. 'Hope this helps.
Fronts: 20x8.5 offset: +32; 245/30 20
Rears: 20x10 offset: +55; 275/30 20



Dont know if anyone still on this forum but what size lug bolts did you run on this setup. I just got a custom set of wheels same wheel specs trying to figure out this last part! Thanks

The oem size bolts will fit for as long as you’re not using spacers. M14x1.5
Just make sure your custom set is ball or conical seat. Good luck and enjoy your ride.
