Default bt: widebody...

cars almost done, paints being applied right now... and its time for wheel fitment options...

can anyone here recommend a size to work around???

ive been throwing around 19x9.5 with an et20.
but i hear from some that it may rub.

secondly should i go with a 265 wheel or 255???

any help, would truly be appreciated... i am having extreme difficulty getting a straight answer from ppl... ALP!

Default i havent called them yet, but everyone who i have called...

says they cannot give out offsets/sizes... and or they do not want to recommend in case it doesnt fit/rub.

basically most have refered me to here. and everyone here either refers me to them, or makes an attempt to be funny.

Default You can ask Mark@ASP or Badmoon on here, or even Andrew and others

ET20 is stock offset and will work, and think larger then 255's, since a ET38 wheel with the right build will allow a 255 to fit on a lowered S4 (narrow body)
