Exclamation 20x8.5 wheel front need info!!

hi,
For a staggered setup on a '07 GT will a 33mm offset wheel fit in the front?

Um, people run 40mm front and rears so I would guess so. I'm staggered (don't know the offset) and I fit fine.

Yup! It will fit. Are you running 255/35/20's? If you should be good to go. There are some running 20" Razors with a 24mm offset up front with that tire size and they fit fine.

The higher the offset the closer the face of the rim comes to the brakes. Most common rims that clear GT brakes are 35 mm. My new ones are 25 which bring the wheel lip to closer to the fender and still are under the lip so no rubbing. If its a real deep dish you need to be careful though. But most rims will clear up front. Which brand are u looking at? Thanks for the kind words Zporta.

Thanks Mellow,

very good info, the wheels i purchased are Boss 336's Gray center with polished lip

20x8.5 frt with 33mm offset
20x10 rears with 38 offset

I've spoken to another member who has these wheels and he says in the front he has a little less than 1/4 inch gap from caliper, so if i understand your explanation he must have the 28mm offset wheel.
