Without lowering its a different story, it all depends on what final product/stance you want. As far as tyre sizes are concerned, just be aware that each manufacture will come up different, some very different!

 

if you want to lower you`ll need to roll the arches a bit ... wheels are in level with arches and not sticking out

20,s makes the zed look like a horse cart imho....dont forget these cars were made around 16,s,ok a bit too much rubber but going 20 is a backward step.But thats just my thoughts:biggrin:

I'd agree with that, 20" is too big imo. They will fit physically but you will get scrubbing inside the front arches on a relatively low turning angle, forget full lock lol

would say its a fail .. but not quit right ... think it would look a little better being lowered

20s are for Zeds that are all show and no go... And I think yours is gonna go pretty well lol..

ive just got a bad pet hate for anything that looks like a cap popping mexican gangster car on them really tall 20+ inch rims...the style had just hit the west coast of the USA in 98-2000 in my small home town at the time over there and everyone took the piss out of them:biggrin:...my distaste for the same still hangs over me now so maybe ime biased:o

uhhh, no thx...

At 20'+, the car stops being a piece of engineering art and instead becomes a Matchbox toy. 18s or 19s depending on suspension and ride height.

 

Imho Mark, the wheels you have fitted look bloody lovely on your motor.

Hi Mark, I have always liked the white ones you have, can I have first dibs if you are getting rid if them please. My car is lowered not that far, on miester Rs and has 245 17s atm using spacers so I'm sure they will fit fine right? I am no expert. How much would you want for them if you are selling?

Trouble is the more rim you have the less rubber you can have to maintain the same rolling radius, if you want to be able to use all that power of that engine build you will need some meat on the tyres, rubber bands are going to cause problems.

Get your current wheels powder coated black bud. That said, I saw that pic earlier and love the concave look, but feel 18's are enough. Any bigger is starting to look kinda roller skatey IMO. Some 19's work. I.e. split rims with staggered lips.

 

*just my opinion*

Made my mind up i'm getting these

 

 

 

these have an ET40 of set .. my Current Rotas are 35et front and 30ET Rear .. and with my tires slightly stretched there catching so i think with the new ones being 5>10mm further in

i could poss put the correct tyre size on ..

Remember i do have my car quit low :)

 

not to keen on the center caps but they can be changed ... and its the only ones i can find with the correct fitment and style
