Question 20's w/Pro-Kit....Question

I'm close to picking up a set of staggered 20" saleens. I have the pro-kit already installed. How will I be as far as clearance in the front? I am also purchasing just the wheels, so what are some recommendations for tire size? Thanks!

Pics of 20's w/pro-kit would be awesome.

i think you will be fine with clearance, there some people running sportlines with 20's and they don't seem to have problems. with tires you coud go 265/35/20 up front, not sure how wide you will want the rear so its up to you

it's really going to depend on the tire size that's on the rims.

below is a picture of my brother-in-law's car, pro-kit with 20x8.5's (255/35/20) up front & 20x10's (295/30/20) out back

The rim size does not affect anything so long as the tire ends up being the same diameter (27.5 inches if I remember right). There is plenty of clearance for all the common backspacing in both front and rear.

No one with 20's and the Pro Kit or even Sportlines has complained about clearance as far as I can remember.

Thanks for all the pictures guys. Beautiful cars.

What is the widest rubber we can squeeze in back?

I run 20x8.5 up front with 245x35x20 and 20x10 with 285x30x20 in the rears with a 5mm spacer to give the rear a more aggresive stance. I think you can run upto a 305 in the rear but your rims will have to be 10.5"-11" wide to fit a 305 tire, hope this helps.

You car is sick! But you can run 305 on a 10" tire.
