Help with wheel decision

[jonnynadeau]

I'm looking to buy 20" wheels for my IOM GT. I'm considering buying the Tach from Sport Muscle Wheels (on www.tirerack.com). I'm curious if the 20"x10" with an offset of +45 will fit the rear with a 285-30-20 and if the 20"x9" with an offset of +35 will fit the fronts with a 245-35-20.

I think they will with no problem but before I guy I want to be sure!

BTW: I'm at stock ride height.

Front should be fine. Rears will be close.

I'm running 285/30/20's in the rear on a 10" wide rim with a 38 offset. Had to roll the fenders and I sit flush to the outer wall. With an extra 7mm you should be ok, but you might have to grind the bumper-fender bracket on the back of the wheel well.

Are you lowered?

Factory height, Do I have to roll the fenders? I'll have to look at which bracket your talking about...

I looked today. What bracket are you talking about?

Factory height no, but it wouldn't hurt to do.

If you look at the rear side of the car you'll see a seam where the bumper meets the body. Follow that seem to the rear of the rear wheel well and inside there is a little bracket that connects the bumper to the body. The bracket has extra metal that may need to be shaved down to prevent the tire from rubbing it under heavy loads, lowered cars or going over big big bumps. I haven't done it yet and have hed no problems. I'm still at stock height too (haven't put my coil overs on yet).
