20x10.5" wheels on an s14? Worth it?
20x10.5" wheels on an s14? Worth it?
Just got a set of 3 piece Maya GR5s from a customer of mine. Front wheels are 20x9" with 26 mm and rears are 20x10.5" with a 29mm offset. I have been thinking about this for a few days I think I can fit them on my S14 using 225-30-20 and 245-30-20 tires. The stock 205-55-16s measure 24.9" diameter overall height versus 25.8" on the 245-30-20s so the difference is 0.9". Also 30 profiles are awefully small... PLus I am not sure if I can bead a 245-30-20 on a 10.5" wheel... But they are so nice, they would look amazing on my white S14 kouki w/nismo sides and gp sports nose... I have 19x8.5" and 19x9.5" Privats now with a 25mm offset in the rear on rolled quarter panels the wheels are pretty much flush. Acording to my calculations the 10.5" are supposed to come out an extra 8.5mm from where the 9.5s are now and I'm sure with camber and more rolling even pulling I should be able to fit them. Of course for daily driving purposes I will have other wheels on the car... What do you think?
Yeah, I hear ya, I am starting to realize its not worth it... They would look sweet, but the ride is bad enough on 19s... I prefer 18s as well but got a great deal on the 19s and now the 20s, well I guess I just need to stop being cheap and get what I really wanted to begin with which is a set of advan rg2s in gold... Thanks everyone!
