Ah i seee, OKi so therefore ive decided to go with 20X8.5 Front ET32 (235-35-20) 20x10 Rear ET45 (265-30-20) =)
Only reason i thought id be able to go with 275 in the rear was i figured since id be putting a higher offset than originally planned

Now i found wheels what i want, but..
front 9x20 et 40 245/35R20 and rear 9x20 et40 275/30R20.
Maybe front wheels is too wide and that coming too much inside 8mm (0.3") vs orinal setup
Is that too close shock/spring?
Rear i can put 10mm spacer if i liket it.
what you think front wheels?

welll i just spoke to giovanna and apparently they are claiming their wheels will not fit my car! They say i need a much higher offset in which they do not offer and will not make custom. The offsets they carry are 20, 25, 32, 38, and 45. I was hoping to get 20x8.5 ET 32 and 20x10 et 45 but they say will not do. -_____- wth?

i have no clue what to do anymore, i went to 3 wheel shops and their saying it wont fit, supposedly just because the wheel size and offest are the same, dosent mean those will work, one place said every wheel has different characteristics.. never thought this would be so complicated

The offsets you want are much lower than stock. ANY wheel in the offset(s) we discussed above will fit producing a flush fitment.

Is the lug pattern 5x112? I don't understand why they are saying it won't fit.. Center bore maybe? If there reason is bc of the offset, then they clearly don't know what there talking about.

[QUOTE=sLiQ_e5c;5081028]wow 10.5 seems a bit too much to be flush on the coupesQUOTE]
+1 I've never heard of using 10.5 on an E Coupe, but would be interested in any information that states this is possible.

Ok so the set up im looking at is the cv3 in 20.. They only make 20x9 et and 20x 10.5
with a 42 at this time... ive done a ton of research but was look for opinions here..
i think with a 245 30 or a 235 30 the front will be fine ... and in the rear a 265 30 or a 275 25 would work...... it will be lowered slightly and i never have anyone in the rear and i do have a fender roller that i would mind using.... it is a 350 coupe

Hey threeMBs, Srrry again but this company is getting on my last nerves.
They first claimed 20x8.5 et 32 and 20x10 et 45.
After a long order process, they are now claiming they dont carry that, instead its 35 et front and 40 in the rear. Would these even work??
