Zl1 replica wheel HELP

[Dhaliwal559]

Oh yeah, quick question. I'm on the stock 20's right now with 20MM wheel spacers 245-275 tires. And I'm lowered on coil overs to the point where you can hardly stick a finger in the wheel gap, how will the new 20x10 and 20x11 do? With 285's all around or the 285/305 option

[SS PANTHER]

I'm down 1" all around and I do not rub even during Autox. Measure from the bottom center lip of your wheel to the top of the fender arch. You should be somewhere between 25.75-26". This is what is recommended not to put undue stress on the rear axles. You are probably running a 40 series tire now and a 35 series tire will lower the car about .40".

A pic to show how long I am,

What do you consider them? Should I raise my car before the dealer installs my wheels or should I leave it, I have to pretty much go sideways over any bump as it is

[SS PANTHER]

20x8 front OEM 20's have a +35 offset. With a 20mm spacer your the equivalent of a +15, but an 8inch wide wheel. You would be okay with a 20 x 10+23 if you are not lower than 1.25 inches or more.

[SS PANTHER]

That's low. Looks cool, but it may be a little too low and it is not good for the suspension geometry.

[Dhaliwal559]

I only used the spacer to get by with stock wheels. Obviously won't use spacers with new wheels.
Judging off my pic, if I get the 20x10 and 20x11 option, would I be rubbing? Should I just get 285's all around?
Should o do a 35 series? Or a 40 series

[Dhaliwal559]

I never track my car though, sometimes a car meet with a mountain run after but that's like every 3 months

[SS PANTHER]

The 35 series will bring you down lower and give you some space back between the fender and tire. 40 series looks like a truck tire compared to a 35 series. You have coil overs so you can adjust your car just right. Tires are your call. 285's a little safer bet.

[Dhaliwal559]

Hmm.. Now I feel like I should stick to 40's.. I want to keep my car low. If your saying to stick with 285's all around,
What size wheel?

Also worth mentioning: If you get ZL1 replica wheels and decide to have them staggered with wider rubber in the back, a good set of all-seasons is the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2. You can get these on TireRack. I would have, but I had a nail in my tire and they were back ordered for 2 months at the time. Ended up with Goodyear Eagle F1:G2's again.

My last set of Goodyears were shot after just 2 years of driving. They're great in the summer and manageable if you're careful in the cold, but they aren't designed to be driven year round and wear out easily. The BFGoodrich are a little less sticky in optimum conditions, but they have much beefier treads and should last a lot longer and handle more confidently in the cold. They also aren't directional like the Goodyears so they can be rotated.

Also as SS PANTHER said, running a square setup is the smart move unless you're more focused on looks. If you run a staggered setup, the rear tires can cost up to $100 more depending on the brand and where you get it from. It's also harder to rotate.

Here's a link to TireRack if you want to see the options.

I went with FR and have no regrets. I'm lowered 1.2" all around and run 20x10+23 275/40R20 in front and 20x11+43 315/35R20 in the rear. No rubbing at all even in tight turns.

I'm running a 20x10 +35 box setup on BFG Comp 2 A/Ts - 275x40's all the way around.

I also called Factory Reproductions out of Chino directly. Prices were slightly better and more options. I had them pinstripe my wheels at a great price.
