I like the color!! it's different from everything else.

be careful with your tires tho. that is wayyyy to stretched to be any safe.

Those wheels are hideous, but that color is pure sex.

Looking good but I think you need to go lower to hide the top of the wheels...stretching tire is to get the top of those wheels flush so that you can hide the top and not see the stretch from top. It makes a big difference and completes the look you are looking for.

If you can't go lower I would suggest going with meatier tires to hide the wheel gap and complete the look that way.


Where are you rubbing?
With that much stretch and tire gap you should be fine.

Are you rubbing inside with the inner lip onto the body or chassis?

Or is it tire that rubs on the the outer or top of the fender? Those wide fenders should be giving you some major clearance.

I would suggest 225/35/20 and 255/30/20 or 265/30/20 from General

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I'm really happy with the way it turned out..

I'm from SF, CA (Bay Area).

Wheel size: Front: 20 x 9.5 - Rears: 20x11

CLKFAN - The rear is rubbing on the lip when I hit bumps. I have a 20mm spacer in the rear and am now considering bumping it down to a 15mm. I tried mounting the wheels on without the spacer and it rubs the inside wheel well so a spacer is definitely required. I am considering changing out the rear tires to the sizes you suggested. Rear tires are still somewhat new so I'm going to just ride them out first.

Thanks for your input man. I've always been a fan of your ride...

I wish you were near me here in LA. If you were I could really take a look at the car and your clearance issues and recommend the right tire sizes and spacers to dial it all in just right.

I'm also from SF. Hopefully I'll see your car around here!

Have you tried a camber adjustment on the rear to help with clearance on the inside?

becareful with that amount of stretch, i was stretching some 215/35/19 Falken FK452 over a 8.5 rim, seemed fine at first, dont drive too much then after a few months i got a weird vibration, found out one of the tires got 2 huge bubble, swap that out with the another tire, same spec Falken, and drove out to thousand oaks, the next day going to OC got 4 bubbles on both front tires....didnt hit any pot hole that i can remember, but now lost 3 near new tires....went back to 234 good year gs d3 and will deal with the rubbing....

avrgsr

Jess - Yep, see ya around!

Salty - thinking that I'll need a camber kit soon...haven't tried that yet

Curyousgee - I will be changing my tires soon to the 255/30/20 soon..Thanks for your input!

where did you get your lip spoiler?

big_mike1979

did u mean 235?
im running 235/35/19 on my 19 by8.50 and no prob at all.
if u stretch tire tooo much, it will wear out faster as far as i know off.
