Hey there Patrick ! Just wanted to follow up by saying that I located several different wheels available in 20x9.5 that have a +35 offset..

1.. TSW Geneva-Part #2095GNV355114S76

2.. TSW Mechanica-Part #2095MEC355114S76

3. TSW Holeshot-Part #2095HLS355114S76

The next 2 are from Steeda, but have larger offsets..

4.. Steeda Ultra-Lite-Part #013-0004-45 20x9.5 Offset-45mm

5.. Steeda Spyder Wheel-Part #013-0020-45M 20x9.5 Offset-59mm


Anyway that's all I could find.. So let me know if I'll be fine with these, including the Steeda's with the 45 and 59mm offsets..

Thanks again... Rocky

Rocky do you have the Brembos? I don't know if the Steeda's would clear. If not, then any of those would work. I just like the +35 because it's a good compromise of pushing the wheel out towards the fender, while having clearance for the 275s.

I'd personally go with a more aggressive offset, like +20, but it's harder to tell if that kind of fitment will work over the Internet. +35 is a safer offset that'll work.

That's why I add the 1/4" spacers to mine, just to push them out a little further. 1/4" is about 7mm, which would effectively make my wheels +28. Does that help?

I don't have Brembos right now Patrick, I still have the OEM's.. Supposedly the Steeda Spyders are designed to clear larger 14" 6 caliper brakes, but unfortunately they're only available in a 59mm offset, so I don't know if this would cause a clearance issue for 275's or not..

As I mentioned, only the TSW's I came across are available in 20x9.5 with a +35 offset..

To
Tom, do they simply interlock and free float?

Here are a few recent shots. Finally tinted the windows and installed some Ford Racing 5300-P springs in the rear. Waiting on the panhard bar and Koni orange shocks to arrive. The rear didn't really look too far off but when I taped a plumb bob (string with a socket tied) to the fenders and measured it definitely was off a little. I don't think I will touch the front as I like the stance so far. Still having issues with tires, Nitto 555's. They have been balanced twice and still get a little vibration in the front end from 50-60 mph. I am tempted to go the the Nitto 555 G2 but not sure they would be any better. Not sure what I could sell the present tires for. There is less than 400 miles on them and they have not been smoked once.

Yes, just like the other systems but at a lower cost. Very easy to do...like playing with Legos.

Nice. They look great!

Looks great Steve!

I'm pretty sure the Steeda wheels with 59mm offset are 11" wide, meant for the rear of the car

A buddy of mine has 20x9.5 front Steeda Spyders on his Brembo car, and 20x11 rears with 315/30/20 rear tires.
No rubbing, no issues.

I am assuming that your wheels are new too. From what I have read, you have to take off the rotor retaining clips on the front otherwise you can get vibration.

steevesj

The clips are not needed? Where are they and what do they look like? I assume you would have to remove the wheel to access them.

Few from today. Didn't turn out like I had hoped. Need to go out on a day with better lighting.

Plus hideaway plate.

Besides that, the car and the pictures look great!!!

Gabe, unless Steeda misprinted the specs.. it's has the offset listed at 59mm..

Here's the link for the Spyder wheels... Rocky

I'm gonna call that a misprint.
Give them a call and ask them.
They'll probably be happy to know their website has a misprint on it

The car looks a LOT better lowered! And don't tires have a warranty for replacement if they can't be balanced within the first few thousand miles?

Nathan,....your car looks the ***** bro! What a great looking car.
The money shot!

Blue Notch

Thanks guys. Hopefully soon on the removable plate. Got my notice for renewing the registration the other day. Almost another car payment.

Dude,.....tell me about it!! I got my excise tax bill for the truck a couple of weeks ago. HOLY F*CK! It's A LOT of money.
( I don't understand how it can be a lot more than what my Roush was brand new?? The Roush costs me thousands more to buy, but I'm pay a lot more excise tax for the truck?!?! THE F*CK!?)

Regardless, they look pretty freaking sweet!!
