Fitment/Tire Size HELP!!

Hey boys, Looking for some advice as i picked up a set of 20" work vsxx wheels. I need help to try and figure out what i need for tire sizes. Any help and suggestions are appreciated as this is my first time trying to fit an agressive set of wheels.

What im running:

Front: 20x9.5 +17 10mm spacer
Rear: 20x10.5 +13 5mm spacer (spacers are not mounted in the pictures)

Driver Side

Passenger Side
Name:  DSC_0052_zpsc5e129b5.jpg
Views: 169
Size:  39.5 KB

You be the judge but to me it looks like my driver side wheel sits out further then the passenger side, the only thing i can think of is that the camber is off slightly giving the illusion that the top of the rim sits out further. Like i said earlier i also need to run a 5mm spacer in the rear.

Help please!!!

How low are you going to be? Looks like they should camber in enough to avoid going too stretched. A 245 or 255/35/20 in front and 275/30/20 should work, but hard to tell for sure from just those pics. Do you need spacers in back to clear the lower suspension arm?

I was thinking 245 front and 265-275 rear. I need the spacers in the front and back to clear the Brembo BBK thag comes stock with the car. The car is also on wood blocks and isnt lowered

I assumed it was on blocks, just wanted to know if you'll be on a stock or lowered suspension?

245/275 should work as they'll be slightly stretched so the tires should clear the fenders, but the rims will be close after spacing. You can always run excess camber, at least short term and look into fender work long term if it's too far off. Surprised you need rear spacers as the rear calipers aren't nearly as big as the front.

Yea ill have to stretch them and run some serious camber i think. Its just because the rears are an "O" disk, and the fronts are an "R" disk.

Fender work meaning rolled or stretched?

Rears are already rolled but you can roll the fronts and pull the rears.

Currently my rears arent rolled neither are the fronts. And i really dont want to pull any fenders and ruin the body lines.

There's nothing to worry about rubbing if you r gonna run these tires specs and camber.
my old setup with my vsxx was
20x9.5 225/35/20 -5 (O DISK)
20x10.5 245/35/20 +10 (O DISK)
- camber -5.5
just make sure u get the right tires that runs small on rears
like nankangs ns-II, toyo extensa HP or achilles and accelera 245/35/20 but they're (true size) still doable.
I got more info but lazy to type em all lol. Just Pm me if u have any more questions . Good luck!

are those tires smaller because they are not as good quality? or are they built the same as say a hankook ventus v12?

I am also an Rdisk in the front and an Odisk in the rear.
