Question for people running iForged wheels
Is anyone running 20x9 and 20x10 iForged wheels with offset done by iForged? If so what tire sizes are you running and what are you dropped on?

I haven't gotten my iForged wheels yet but I'll be getting 245f/275r. I asked for an agressive offset so I don't want to take any chances with 285 in the back. I'm dropped on Eibach Prokit.

Some companies don't share the offsets, i think iforged is one of them? id probably go with 275's. They don't tell you what size tire to get?

Isn't the offset one of the most critical specs of any wheel? How is that not listed?

It is and I never understood wtf they dont list the offsets... like its some big Chinese secret and like an average joe couldnt measure it.
Back spacing - center line = offset.

The companies that do custom offsets spend R&D time taking a lot of measurements and maybe even test fitting prototypes. They understanably don't want to easily share their results so they can be copied by another company.
The offsets are still easily measured once a wheel is delievered to the customer though.

youre not on iforged, therefore your wheels are most likely a diff offset, less aggressive, tucking your wheel in enough for 285s to clear.

For what it's worth 275's are perfect. I think you will rub with a 285.
