So, I'm looking at new rims/tires and I'm going with CS40s and Nitto Invos. Here are the full plans:

- CS40s (Black) staggered 20 x 10 in the back and 20 x 9 in the front
- Nitto Invos 295/30/20 in the back and 255/35/20 in the front
- Cervinis C-Series Front Fascia
- Street Scene Side Skirts
- Street Scene Read Valence

I also plan on lowering the car (at this point, not sure how much). I was wondering if I will be pushing it with the extremely low profile tires. Should I step up the profile to 295/35/20 and 245/40/20 to avoid scraping the ground or will I be fine on the 295/30/20s and the 255/35/20s? I understand there will be scraping issues with the C-Series regardless but I'm wondering if the extra profile on the tires will make a significant difference. I prefer the look of the lower profiles but if they will be significantly more hassle I'll step up a notch.

All opinions are appreciated.

Thanks,

It really just depends on which lowering springs you get. You pretty much have the same setup as far as rims and tire specs that i do (i have Toyo Proxys tho), and I would have to say, it would be a good idea to get a tire with more side wall to at least give you a little more clearance. If i remember right i believe MYGT500 said that he was planning on stepping up to a larger over all diameter tire to give him a little extra clearance.

 

it will ride rough as hell and hit a pothole, buy another wheel

 

there are tons of guys running that tire combo around here and you don't see them replacing wheels at all. seems pretty far fetched.....

I would reccomend getting the 295/35/20 invo for the rear cause thats where its going t help lift the side exhaust more rather then the front.

thats the combo I have and I am running sportlines but I dont have side exhaust though but I do have cdc aggressive wich is the lowest set up you can get up front.

 

I have 255/35/20 in the front, 275/35/30 in the rear with the cervinis, and lowered the equivalent of a sportline kit now. I haven't had any problems with scraping, but I have to tell you....the car really is squatted down.

 

I don't think I am going to go with the side exhaust only because of the scraping issue. I think I'm just going to do the Cervinis Front End and then go with the Street Scene Side Skirts and Rear Valence. That way, I can keep my exhaust running out the back and not have to worry about tearing that up by scraping it...

 

I didn't think 30s would fit on the rear... heh

 

Lot of us are running 30s all the way around son...

 

^^^haha go big or go home

 

damn that sounds pimp... next mod fo' sho!!
