Default Wheel fitment?

Hey guys,

I'm going for a 215 square setup, and I wanna have these wheels:



I really want them in 20x9 +12, and throw 215s on them, is that size too small?

Should only need a little camber, maybe a roll right? I dunno, they just look pretty.











































Ahhhhh, JUST KIDDING!!

I feel the need to inject some sanity back into this forum, so here's my actual setup I just got aligned today. I have CE28s in 17x9 +63 with 255/40 NT05 on the fronts and 17x10 +70 with 275/40 NT05 on the rears.

Here's a few snapshots I just took







Now I just need to get some center caps to top it off.

Wheels look good! How does it handle?

Do you plan on lowering the car?

Yeah, I plan on lowering it about an inch with KW V3s. So far the handling feels much more sturdy; the extra lateral grip is definitely improved. I'll have to break the fronts in more and take it to the track to really get a feel for it.

So far no rubbing, but lowering and some track time may change that. I have -1° camber front and -1.5° camber on the rear right now.

Well I am glad you are taking it to the track! I would be interested to hear what you think. Have you taken it to the track on the stock wheels before?

Sadly no, if I were to do this all over again I would have first, then do motor/turbo, wheels/tires like I have now.

Do the rear tires clear the fender lip? I'd want some more camber, but that's just me.

With the 70mm offset I would not think he would have an issue. When you lower the car some more negative camber would be good. If I can help with the springs let me know.
