Im looking at putting anywhere from a 18 to a 20 inch rim on my lowered rs3 I want to know whats the widest i can go without losing my turning radius and modding the front end

 

I had a 20x8 +35... no matter what you do you will have to remove the fenderliner, and then you have to cut a little bit off of the side skirt... when I get home tonight, I can show you pics of what Im talking about, cant access photobucket from work...

 

ok don i thought u lived in orlando

 

not any more... I moved last may...

 

I have 19x7.5 +40 on my rs3, no mod the the liners, no issues, wheels turn left and right to full lock. Probly at 20'' you may have some problems with fitment.

 

The big problems with 20s is the fire wall and the tire... Clint get with Ivan, he got some nitto neogens in 225/30/20s for dirt cheap somewhere. thats the ideal size...

 

i'm running 18x8 +26 in the front with 215/35 neogens. they do just fine, but i think anything wider than that or with lower offset you're gonna get into problems. i am running 18x9 +23 with 225/40 in the rears, and i have rubbing issues in the back (rolling the fenders though, so it should be gone soon).

 

You can kinda see what I had to cut...



And your gonna have to roll your fenders...



and to everyone that has posted above... have an 19x7.5 or a 18x8 is nothing like having a 20x8... sure the witdh is the same... but guess what, its all exemplified when you add more to the diameter..

 

^^^ absolutely right to what you said. but you have to think about offset as well.

 

Yup...

what are you dropped on Clint?
