Offset questions. Think I found my new wheels
I have searched and read alot of great information on offset and tire size. All of the posts on the topic have helped me nail down exactly what I am looking for but I am still a little stuck on rear tire size so I am looking for someone who has experience with this. I am looking at a 20x10 et 20 rear but I dont really want a stretched look at all so I would prefer going with a 295/30/20.

Can someone comment on that tires size on with that offset? Would 285/30 look stretched on a 10" wheel? Pictures? Experiences? Any help is appreciated.

I am lowered with Eibach Springs and I want ZERO rub.

Comments and photos would be very helpfull.

Thanks,

Tom

I wish I knew. Forgestar won't tell - it's "proprietary". I'm told it's between ET27 and ET30 by my sales rep at Modbargains. Apparently some of these wheel people don't share offsets when they are the ones that choose them.

That setup even at et30 is 17mm more aggressive than stock while a 20x10 et 20 is only 15mm more. Can you confirm 295/30 and not 295/25?

Anyone else?

295/30. Wanted to keep rolling diameter as close to stock as possible. 17mm (ish) more aggressive sounds right - I don't have spacers in back and it's near perfectly flush.

Y - on 20x9. Michelin PSS all around. In front they made me a custom 12mm spacer/hubcentric ring as they weren't able to get the offset so it was flush for whatever reason.
