Would a 20x12 rim with a 345 30 20 tire fit on the rear of a 2011?

i highly doubt it. that is a lot of meat - how much power are you running? : P

I think after 11" and 305/315 with the right offsets, is about the cap. not that you can't make other setups work .. this is just the max I've seen without some serious tinkering

I fixed that for ya

That's a big wheel. I can't imagine it would fit without doing some serious modifications to the car. Rolling the fenders and some spacers... Not to mention tires are gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

Can it be done? Well probably yeah. But not stock. Like tdcalhoun89 stated it will require some serious modification. Fender rolling, I need my fenders rolled on my 18x10. You will also have to have your fenders PROFESSIONALLY pulled. Do not attempt it yourself. If you're willing to do all that then go for it. But shows us a picture of the wheels!

Are you sure about that!? I've had NO issues with clearance on my 18x10's.

OP you'll need some serious modification if you're looking to do this.

I'm running +25 offset but I am also a lot lower than you ;P (Based on your picture). But regardless if he went 20x12 yes I def see him needing his fenders rolled.

stock power, it would just be for looks i guess

20x12 with a 345 would look so badass i think. But if it requires alot of custom modification I probably wont do it. Ill stick with 20x10.5 with a 295 rear probably. 19x9 with a 255 on the front.


the 345s tires were like 580$ each lol, 295s still going to be about $400 i think

Looks badass maybe, but will be adding a whole Lot of rotational unsprung weight.

I'd guess 15lbs or more per 20x12 wheel+tire over a stock 18x8 setup?

That's a lot of unsprung weight gain which will translate to your car's pull, to some degree.

Ive seen people run 20x12 (or it may have been 20x13) but he has a wide body on his car.
