I could meet you as far as Philly if I have something you want.

It's gonna be these.
what are your recommendations for front and rear with the rims at this size?

• Front 20x10 ET +35mm / 34 lbs.
• Rear 20x11 ET +50mm / 35.4 lbs.

i was thinking

285/35
305/35

 

[Golgo69]

20x10 +35 285/35/20 front.
20x11 +50 315/35/20 rear
Steeda progressive springs.

what's the "+35" and +50 mean?

here let me google that for you

Unless you just gotta look phat, consider going 10 squared.

Offset of the hub.

Have 19" on my ride. Eventually I wanna go with 18"x12" rear 18"x10" fronts w/ more sidewall. Ideally I'd prefer 17"X12" rear & 17"x10" fronts but the picking are slim for those.

I love that original BULLITT look!

I'm looking at the TOYO Proxes R888R, 265/30zr 19 (they only offer the 275 in a 35zr) and 305/30zr 19

fighting to keep that original look! That 30 will give me a lower profile right?

at the south pole don't you need tracks and spiked tires? Though I guess the donuts are epic until you fall into a cravass.

the days of wide tires for 17 or even 18 is long gone. It's 19 or 20 now. If you want sidewall you're limited to slicks and drag radials.

TOYO Proxes R888R

blech no.

265/30 will be 'rubber band'. I would choose 265/40.
look, spend a few hours looking at the 'spec' tabs on tirerack.com

https://www.bbwheelsonline.com/foos...x114-3-black-gloss-40mm-offset-F104200065_40/

just a couple examples. but most people don't like that look and so picking are TINY.

before you plunk down an insane $2500 for cast wheels, you can find flow-formed for $1000 or less.

That's an impressive "used rubber" collection you have there, Shogun!

Nah.. apex has a good selection of wheels in the sizes I need. I can get Nitto NT 555 G2 in a 315/40R18. Close enough I guess.

I was also going to mention using tire rack to check specs, even if you are not buying from them. You will note on there that these numbers are standardized and do not necessarily give the exact measurements of the tire. Two tires that are the "same" size can vary, even from the same manufacture. For instance, when I went from the PS4S to the AS/3+, a 265 was closer to the 255 PS4S specs then 255 AS/3+.

Honestly I really like the choices Steeda made for their Bullitt.

275/35-20 front and 315/35-20 rear.
