Ok, first off, I'm fully aware this is not the correct offset for this car. I ordered these wheels from Element Wheels and they had the rear offset to be 20X10.5 +45. They called me and said the company doesn't have that size, and only 20X10. I said fine and I'll still take them. I assumed they ran a similar offset, and what he failed to mention was that the 20x10 only came in +35, so now the wheels stick out more than I want.

Based on some of the other threads, I figure I can bring them in some, but how aggressive would I have to get with the suspension? I'm really on the edge of just sending them back, but I know I will be in for a fight. FWIW, I'm currently at stock height. Any help would be great.

 

Not much you can do to bring the wheels in, running a stretched tire like a 255/32/20 will get you the fit at the fender. Have you mounted a tire to the wheel? If not they should be able to take them back and just charge return shipping. You can run more negative camber but that will result in increased tread wear. The 10 +35 is aggressive so if you do keep them you may want to get a spacer in front to get a similar fit in front.
Hopefully you can live w/ a stretched tire or be able to return them.

Thanks for your feedback. They were mounted before I knew of the incorrect offsets. I never even thought to check them when they came in, which was dumb on my part. I guess I have to roll with the aggressive stance for now until I swap them out.

 

What size tires are you running?

 

F: 245/35/20
r: 275/30/20

 

That shouldn't be too bad, do you have any pics?

 

Looking from the side, it almost impossible to tell, but at all other angles its pretty noticeable, especially to a car person. I have some Eibach Pro springs I had planned to put on, but I'm guessing thats out with this offset, unless I do some extra camber?

 

Oh yea.. On a decent drop, those things should camber in and tuck pretty nicely.. I would put the springs in and evaluate.. I think You will like how flush they will be without poking. FWIW I'm on 10.5 +37 in back on 285/25 tires and I still have a few mm's to spare with no rubbing

 

This^^^ If you don't mind running a bit more negative camber you should be fine. Where your wheels sit right now will only get better as you get lower.

 

Personally, I would send them back. Camber wear gets annoying. I'm running 275s on 10.5. If you're going to keep them, run a 255, maybe 265, but you will probably need an additional -1 degree of camber.

 

Got some pics, sir?

Do you think I would need to get a camber kit?

I don't really have to go the extra camber route, but I do think I'm going to install the springs when I have time just to see where it sits and re-evaluate.

 

You'll have extra camber as you drop lower on your springs, that's what I was saying. I would get at least the rear toe kit so you can set your toe in spec, that way your tires won't wear even worse.

 

Gotcha, thanks for advice
