Lowering with 20's?

How wide are the wheels and tires?

slvr20cam Feb 10, 2009 06:07 PM

255 35 20

depending on the offset you should be fine.

johnLs1camaro Feb 10, 2009 07:26 PM

got any pics? does that kit only lower it about a inch?

slvr20cam Feb 10, 2009 07:47 PM

It says it lowers 1.5" i got almost 2" in the front and 2.25" in the rear to play with before tire...it should clear..Im just worried about rubbing when i hit bumps

idk you should be ok, the rims arent that wide your putting on and tires size should be ok.

Wing Zer0 Feb 10, 2009 08:07 PM

I have the same size rims and tires. I Don't know what the offset is of my rims. I am riding on Sportlines though. Hope this helps.:nod:

slvr20cam Feb 10, 2009 08:22 PM

That looks good.

To the OP if you rub just roll the fenders a little

Those sure look more like 285/30/20 to me, because a 285/35 would have a sidewall at least as tall as a 245/40, plus a 285/35/20 would be around 27.85" tall. :suspiciou

Silver UltraZ Feb 23, 2009 09:34 PM

Im running 285 30 20 all the way around

fordeater Feb 23, 2009 10:43 PM

a 255/35/20 is 27.0" tall...you should be good depending on the BS of the rim, the pro-kit is not a crazy drop.

They might be..I havent seen my car in about 3 months. You might be right though. I will confirm it tomorrow when I pick up the car. Since i will be selling them here in the next week.
