Default New Rims Question

Looking at getting rid of my all chrome 20" wheels and replacing them with a used set of 20" chrome and black rims, however my current tire size is 245\35\20 and the tires on the set im looking at picking up are 255\45\20, now I dont mind if I need to roll the fenders to get them to fit, but are there going to be anymore clearance issues other then the fenders?


Thanks

might have to do that, I cant think of a way to get them to fit other then lifting the car then lol, then again I think I have some 255/35\20 in storage somewhere that should fit fine

Spacers will push it away from the strut plate.

if i space to far though then a fender roll might not be good enough to have clearance in the wheel well, im pretty sure 255/35/20 should fit without hitting the plate though

It all depends on the offset.. I had driv royal 20s with 255/35s and i rubbed on the strut plate.. Now i have II crave 22s with 245/30 and i dont rub the strut plate.. Also keep in mind certain tires though they are 255s some arnt as wide as others.. I had nexan N3000 255/35/20 those are what rubbed for me. But it hardley rubbed. I just let it ride and eventually it wore itself down far enough thay it didnt rub anymore
