So i have two choices as of right now. The XO Miami or the Lexani R10 but the only problem is that they both only come in 20's i have the stock 19's at the moment dropped on tein s-techs with 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the back. So what i really wanted to know is how would 20" rims look on my car with the drop? Would it go a lot higher or even rub? I'm leaning more the Lexani's right now. Does anyone have 20's on their car dropped on tein's as well that could show some pictures?

 

You should be getting proper tires that will keep the same (or similar diameter) to your current 19s so the height won't change. Offsets & width of your new wheels is what will determine how they fit. If you want a staggered set the most common 20" tires to run are 245/35/20Front and 275 or 285/30/20 in the back. Just about everyone around here w/ 20s has a drop so just look in the media share section and you'll find many ideas.

 

I would love 275 but it might rub since i have to 20mm spacers the the back. But then again i have no idea about the whole offset thing.

 

If you get the proper wheel offset when you order your new 20's, you can ditch the spacers but hang on to them when you want to run the 19's. Check out this calculator here: Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

Enter in the stock specifications from your existing 19's and then enter the proposed new 20" wheel specs. If they are stock 19" coupe wheels, those offset specs are pretty easy to find here. When I get home from work, I'll see if I can find the thread that lists them.

That site helped demystify the whole offset thing for me and now it makes sense. It also tells you exactly how they will compare to your current setup.

 

Thanks i will definitly use that but my spacers are a pain in the *** to take off because i changed all my studs to extend them

Ah, that makes sense. Those studs aren't exactly convenient to get out but may be the best way to go (back to stock) because unless you go custom, you're going to have to get offsets of +55-60 for the front and +60 for the rears. Forgestars or the bespoke varieties from Avant Garde will allow for offsets in that range (getyourwheels.com has some great examples). The other thing is that if you ever sell your wheels down the road in the future, they'll be tough to move because people will probably not want to contend with using 20mm spacers.

Here's the sticky on the specs for the stock wheels:

If your stock spec for the front wheel is +45 your 20mm spacer makes that now a +25 offset. Let us know how it goes.

 

Good advice from TwinSnails, In the long term it would be best to deal w/ the pain of removing the long studs and replace them w/ the OEM ones. Unless you find some used wheels at a good price that you could use the spacers, that would be the exception. Otherwise starting fresh w/ new wheels and perfect offsets will be a much better setup, and like Snails mentioned it will be much easier to resell a standard fit wheel compared to some super high offset one. It's also not the best to use extended studs on spacers over 15mm, they lose some strength as they get longer, for wider spacers the bolt on type would be a bit better from most of the info I've gone over.
