Test fit pics: 20X8.5 +44 Enkei Zeus

Started to rain before I could get to the back, but I'm not worried about the fitment in the rear anyway.

Opinions on both the fitment and the look? I'm a little worried about the fender surviving 20s with the Tein S-Tech drop.

Are you planning on 225/30-20 tires?

So far, that's the plan. I think a 215/30 would give me a little more stretch than what I'm looking for.

^^ Yea, that's what I thought for 20's, probably not enough sidewall height to safely stretch a 215/30 on a 20x8.5" wheel.

It's also on the tire you choose. They are def not created equal, some run wide, some square, some narrow. Looks like you've got some research ahead.

So far, the Toyo pictured is the only 215/30-20 that I've seen.

I really think you could go with a larger tire than the 225/35, but you'll probably be safer with that tire.

I wouldn't even think about 225/35-20 on the S-Tech drop, they're almost 26-1/4" outside diameter, and would surely rub heavily on the front fender liners with the 1.7" front spring drop. Play it on the safer side, and stick with 225/30-20. That way you could even add 10mm rear spacers to get the rear wheel lips to more closely match the fronts for flushness with the fenders.

CIONIDE has spoken.

About the rear...

The wheels need to be rebuilt, so I'm looking into making the rear wheels 20x9.5 by adding a 1" deeper lip. I know that 1 in = 25.4 mm, so would that make the final ET ~18? Not sure how that works...
