    need help with wheel and tire sizes

    I was thinking of getting some 20 inch wheels. I was going to go with 20/8.5 with +35 offset for the front and 20/9.5 with +45 offset for the back and use 255/35-20 on front and 285/30-20 for the rear. would this work and could i lower the car 1 inch also with no problems? thanks 4 any info guys

    I believe the offsets are correct. The tire/wheel sizes will work well and with 1" drop as well. The front tire will be the same overall height as OEM and the back tire will be about .2" shorter than OEM, but might not be noticeable to most.

    285/35-20 with Roush back springs will be fine:nice:
    That's a 28" tire, but I had my 285/50-18 (29.2") tires on the back of a buddy's car with Roush rear springs and there was PLENTY of room left. They even fit really well on mine and it's lowered 1.5" in the rear:nice:
