SS wheel
Will the OEM 5th gen SS "FRONT" wheel (20"x 8") clear the caliper on the rear axle of my 15' SS 1LE ?
I have a chance to buy this size & was wanting a permanent spare in my trunk for road trips. Thanks ! |

Offset is different. Front wheel won’t clear rear brembos

YES....in fact their have been many people (me included) that did that very thing and ran a "SQUARED" set-up using 4 20 x 9 with 275/40's on all 4 corners.

Humn, what am I missing? My 20x8 fits fine, on rear, of my SS as a spare. Must be a 1LE thing.

I have not..and upon researching it more I don’t find where offset will affect anything other than looks. I can’t find where anyone has run 8.5 wheels on the rear.

Thanks for the reply. I was just trying to confirm that the 20x 8 wheel will work on all 4 corners, since I will be only using it for a spare tire in the trunk.
