Default 20x11 rims ?

I know steeda offers 20x11s for the s197, But I'm not a big fan of them, So I have found other ones I like. But what i would like too know is, Is there space too tuck them in the rear if I have the right offset and what not? Because I have type Flex coilovers and my stock 18's are just about tucked right now, So if my tire sticks out at all I will rub a lot. So if its possibal to tuck 11's what will it take to do so, and what offset... Thanks

I run 20x10s with no problem. 20x11s might be a little much considering you wouldn't be able to put an adequately wide tire on it...

11" wide?! How wide of a tire do you want to fit in the stock wheel well? I thought 275 was the max, and a 10" wide wheel is just fine.

A 10" will accept a 305 tire with no problems...
On a 11", add two size above that and you're in Viper width.

Hmmm, a 325 tire on an S197. Watch out going through those toll lanes and other narrow places!

20x11 fits fine with a 315/30 or 315/35, steeda does it all the time. GT500 owners have there stock wheels widened to 11 (although 18s) and gts have more room due to no brake ducts. The 2010 Steeda q350 uses spyder wheels with NT05'S, 315/35 RR and 275/35 FR.

I looked underneath and there seems to be lots of room. for sure 20x11 is possible. But i dont know what the offset would be. Maybe use this to determine what offset you will need.

45mm to 53mm is what I have found out most. There isnt many choices out there though for 20x11 from what I have found. Steedas or ultra expensive HRE'S and AXIS wheels or the only ones I have found thus far. There are some custom wheel shops that will build them for you also (like hre) but there over 1000.00 per wheel.
