New setup

[Buschman]

Hey guys,
I am ordering new wheels and tires this week, and just wanted to run it by the site to make sure I am picking up the right ones. I feel I have done my homework on these, but just need reassurance.

Wheels Drag DR-37 20x8.5 20 offset for front, 20x10 35 offset for rear.
Tires Falken Azenis 255/45/20 front, and 295/40/20 rears

[Sir Nuke]

if they are available.....I would get a different offset for the fronts. the STOCK fronts are 20x8 w/ +35mm. the ones you listed have a +20mm, this will push the wheel/tire OUT more. I realize that the new wheel is a 20x8.5.....so a truly better fit would be a +30mm. if the +20mm is all that's available, it will work, just remember that the front wheels will be pushed out about 1/2" compared to the stock 20's.

Thanks for the info, I guess I was thinking that the rears would be close to a 3/8-1/2" out from stock as well. I was trying to keep it close to equal, if that makes any sense.
They do make a 30 offset for the fronts, would it help with handling or is it just for looks?

Are those wheels from discount tire website? If so, please post pictures once their on the car. Thanks!

actually with the +30mm offset, they would look closer to being the same, the handling won't change seeing as how you are going with a staggered set-up.....like stock, just different sizes.

They are, if I make the purchase it won't be until next week. I'll put pics on here if I do get them!

Ok thanks man. I used your sticky on offsets to figure it out so I really appreciate your help. 30 it is, what about the tire size they will be about a 1/2 inch larger than stock. Will that throw off the speedo?
Now I just need to convince my wife that the Camaro needs new shoes.

Are these the Falken Azenis FK-453 ?? I want to go with this size setup but I don't see that 295 size anywhere on their Falken website for that tire.

Thanks...found em...wonder why they don't list em on their own website in the 295 size?
Oh well.

they will work, and won't be an issue.

Looking forward to a review of these tires...let us know when you get them and verify the 295 size... Pics too...Thanks

Just curious, why you aren't going with a slightly wider set up? 275 front / 305 rear? I was also looking at the DR-37 (same sizes in Hyper Silver) but with the wider tire set up.

I too would like to see photos once you get the wheels and tires.

No particular reason, those were the tire sizes that discount tire recommended.
