Hi guys.

Does anyone know the best offset for a 2012 xS coupe with sports package is? Currently has the 19" sport wheels

Just bought 20s 8.5" 245/40R20 front, 10" 275/35R20 back. Can't be fully mounted because they are hitting the "big @ss brake calipers". Spacers won’t work, lug screws too short.

I need them replaced (hopefully with 9" in the front instead of 8.5") with the proper offset but don't know what the best fit for the sports package brakes is.

Looking for this look below.



Thanks guys!

 

Post your offsets for the 20s you purchased, you might have room to go out far enough that you can use bolt on spacers, these are a simple install. The tire size you got are also pretty tall compared to OEM diameters (almost 4% taller), a 245/35 & 275/30 would be the better match. If there's any way you can get a refund on at least the tires and hopefully those wheel offsets will allow you to go out 15mm, or if they don't need much room to clear you may be able to use 3mm spacers on your stock lug studs, or if worse comes to worse just gt extended studs.
These are the best 2 combos for 8.5/10" wheels on an AWD.
235/35 & 275/30 0.07% variance
245/35 & 285/30 -0.07% variance

 

I must admit that Louith has a KILLER stance on his car for sure!
