will 20+offset razors rub?

i have a 08 gt with eibach sportlines and i love the fat mean look of the razors with 20+ offset...... my question is this is anyone running this combo and if so does it rub cause the sportlines sit pretty low

This car has the +24mm offset 20" Razors and Eibach Sportlines. The stance is perfect and the owner reports no rubbing issues.

I'd say that those are probably 275's or 265's. Too big to be 255's.

Here you go, fellas. I tried long and hard to convince this guy to sell me his car as it was close to perfect in my mind. The details below are lifted from another site, but you'll see the tyres are 255/35.

Mods:
C&L 'Racer' cold air induction kit (includes 95mm MAF)
Predator Tuned for 99 octane Shell V-Power
Borla Exhausts
Eibach lowered suspension (1.6" front drop, 2" rear drop, 35% uprated)
Steeda Panhard Rod (to re-locate rear axle after lowering)
BAER 14" cross-drilled and grooved brakes all-round, includes BAER front calipers
20" American Racing Shelby 'Razor' wheels, shod with 255/35 tyres
1 degree negative camber adjusted into front wheels
Mods coming...
'Powered by Ford' plenum cover (arrived, just needs fitting)
Steeda Strut tower brace (arrived, just needs fitting)
Ford Racing Performance Parts front struts and shocks (in post)
Steeda Strut bearings (also in post)
Eleanor style hood (about to order this tomorrow!)

Anyway, pics...







A couple of pictures of mine, so you can compare. Mine has Ford Racing springs. The stance isn't quite as spot on, but I'm happy enough with it.

Hey Twin Turbo, nice car...
What offset do you have on you Razors ?

Do you also know the offset of this other car in your thread ?

Hi mate

Both are +24mm. I just prefer the way it pushes the wheel right out to the edge of the wheelarch.

Good choice. The anthracite Razors would look great on your car. Mine are anthracite too, although the bright sunlight in the photos makes them look almost silver.

Just inspired by above beautiful Stang on gun metal 20” Razor I made a simulation on My Torch red one. I am looking to buy 20” Razors as well and I am considering Silver or Gun Metal. See simulated pictures which ones look better on Torch red with White 10” stripes?

GUN Metal


Silver


Looking your votes.

None taken! I love the gun metal color as well but with silver stripes the silver ones looked better on my car.

Now for the Torch Red with white stripes...gun metal all the way!

Here you go. I am not sure I match your color perfectly – I did not saw that color in reality just taken from ford website.
In my opinion the gun metal on your or on mine torch red is not going well with white stripes.
It should have gun metal stripes or without stripes. Now the question if the gun metal stripes go well with torch red or windevil blue???
