295/25/20 20x10.5 ET42 on Tein S tech springs

wondering if this will fit on my coupe with Tein S tech springs

Front 20x9 ET32 245/30/20
Rears 20x10.5 ET42 295/25/20


I know the fronts will clear no issue, my main concern is about the rears, will i have to trim/dremel the rear bumper bracket? also would i have to trim that bracket if i were to run 275/35 or 275/30?


any help is appreciated thanks!

The 295s on that 10.5 +42 will clear, you might have to shave the bumper bracket but the 295s will fit inside the fender edge. I'd run 245/35 and 295/30 though, that 30/25 F&R sidewall series is going to be a brutal ride.

that is exactly what I was thinking

When I go to shave the bumper bracket a dremel should do the job right? and should i completely eliminate the bracket or leave some of it?


Im currently running 20x9 225/35/20 front and 20x10 275/35/20 rears

If I go with the 20x9 245/30/20 front and 20x10.5 275/30/20 will the car sit lower or a little taller than currently? I was having issues of pulling into my drive way with the 275/30/20 so I had to move up to the 275/35 and now I'm able to get into my driveway.


Also I really don't like the 295 since it's so wide it worries me about scraping the edge of the fender and messing up my paint so that is why I'm leaning more towards the 275 whether it be 30 or 35.

Actually a 285 would be a good mount on a 10.5 and since you feel the 295 might be too wide (I think they'd be fine) the 285 would be a better choice than the 275. A 245/35 front 285/30 will be close to your diameter on the factory tire sizes, the 285/30s will be just a bit taller than the 275/30s so it might be a little easier on the driveway, or just take it at a deeper angle.

So I'd run a 285 if you don't want to go 295 wide, and the 30 rear sidewall series should be pretty good overall.

Cool cool


So yea the front tries are gonna stay 245/30/20 since thats what they are coming with and they are in perfect condition and I don't want to have all 4 new tires.

The rears are nearly shot, so I will be swapping those out no doubt.


Do I have to dremel the bracket at all if I run the 285/30/20 20x10.5 ET42 on the rears with the Tein S Techs ?

And I agree that the the 285 is a wiser choice since it will sit a little taller.

You should be ok, although some tires run a bit wider than others depending on brand/model, your +42 offset is your friend in this case

So i ended up buying the wheels, went to the tire shop to mount them and earthing seemed flush and fit perfectly. drove around today and noticed the rear right one making a strange noise so we took it off and and boom..... one of the rears was drilled slightly so its coming off.


Now i have to go to the wheel repair shop in the morning and figure out if it's even fixable. The fitment looked so perfect and the wheels looked amazing, too good to be true......


The wheel was drilled but i do not know how bad until i get to the shop tomorrow, in the morning, so we will see

When you say drilled, do you mean the previous owner had them drilled to fit a different bolt pattern, or just used the term drilled to mean scraped up?

There's countless members here running setups much more aggressive then that without any problems, so something else seems to be going on.
