Thank you. The wheels are 20X9 +38 all around with a deeper lip on the rear. They'll fit a BBK as well, that's coming soon too!

It's a little conservative for the eibach drop, but I may go to coilovers soon. If not, I'll just put a small spacer on the rear.

I think you'll need spacers all around. That seems like it will be really tucked in.

I'm running 20mm front spacers and 25mm rear's right now with the stocks. I checked the specs on an offset calc to confirm and checked with Ravspec and Work. This should be a pretty good fit. Fingers crossed.

Idk if it differs for 20's but for example...
stock sport 19's fronts are 19x8.5 +43.
your aftermarkets 20x9 +38

Your aftermarket is basically 11mm bigger than stock sport wheels. And to be flush in the front with eibach drop, a 20-25mm spacer is needed with stock.

"6mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 20mm" That's what I got with the calc. Also I had Mark from Ravspec confirm it would be a good fit. A 10mm spacer is still better than the 20,25's I was running.

Haha sorry I didn't mean to scare you. It's just I have custom offsets Forgestars and I'm also on eibach drop. And they're pretty flush. I'm sure I could add a 5mm spacer to the back and front but I'm fine with it and don't want to deal with the hassle
I have 19x9 +27 Fronts
19x10 +33 Rears
Plus yours are 20X9 +38 all around. So the rear will be more tucked in...I don't think the deeper lip will affect how much more the entire wheel will stick out.

Idk how you got 20mm extra on the calc if you put in.

8.5 width +43
9 width +38

Nope, but I'm assuming what sits flush on a regular non X coupe would be the same on a X coupe (putting awd etc aside). Same car afterall.

It's close, but the Eibach spring rate's are different (X/S/Reg) and I think that the stock offset is a little different as well (+43/+45). Let's hope this makes the difference, I really don't want to be running giant spacers.
