I wanted a flush fitment. I thought about using +45et in a 20x10 but decided I didn't want the extra weight or trying to make them fit.Nice wheels. But why not +45 offset?
255/45 +35 isn't flush though, it pokes beyond the fenders. We all have different preferences through, and I'm especially anti-pokeI wanted a flush fitment. I thought about using +45et in a 20x10 but decided I didn't want the extra weight or trying to make them fit.
Preferences and perspectives will always be different. The wheels sit perfectly flush to me.255/45 +35 isn't flush though, it pokes beyond the fenders. We all have different preferences through, and I'm especially anti-poke
Looks like he test fit at full droop where the camber curve goes positive causing the wheels to stick out more. I wanted my wheels flush with the bodyline, if the tires poke 3mm NBD. I did my own research and it resulted in exactly what I wanted as this is not my first rodeo.When I measured with a string from the fenders, it took +28mm to be flush with the fenders. Therefore going to a 9" wheel (1" extra on the inside and 1" on the outside) at stock offset will get you very close. Then you have to select a tire that is also appropriately sized.
Further supporting my research was this post from @ziggi testing 20×9 +35.

Nice setup! Those are some of the biggest diameter tires I've seen, at 29.5". Any rubbing? So far nothing. Only drove home from the shop with full load of my 20s in the back. Shouldn’t have any clearance issues from my understanding.mazdas247.com
Looks good. Reminds of another setup using 9.5 et40 wheels and a 275 tire. Had about the same amount of poke as you.Looks like he test fit at full droop where the camber curve goes positive causing the wheels to stick out more.

Ideally you want to keep the front and rear the same width for proper handling. Having a larger rear spacer increases the possibility for rollover in a hard turn or emergency maneuvers. Glws.Using stock wheels I installed 25mm front and 30mm rear spacers to reach the effect I wanted - a few mm of poke at the wide point near top of the tire when on the road. Be aware the front and rear are different by about 5mm so wheels with the same offset will look different on each end of the vehicle.
To see how this offset looks, I'm selling my spacers here:

but there's a fine line between perfection and overshooting
Actually, a wider track reduces the chance of a roll over, just like a cup with a wider base is less likely to tip over than one with a narrow base. But in fact a 10mm difference in track width is meaningless anyway.Ideally you want to keep the front and rear the same width for proper handling.

Yes a wider track does reduce tip over chances but when you stagger the track so that the rear is wider than the front it will have a greater chance of roll over than if you track front to rear was the same.Actually, a wider track reduces the chance of a roll over, just like a cup with a wider base is less likely to tip over than one with a narrow base.
