Help with tire sizes for new rims
 

I'm getting the factory reproductions zl1 replica wheels. I'm stick between 20×9 and 20×10 with continental dws06 factory size tires or 20×10 and 20×11 with continental dws06 with 275 in the front and 315 rear.

1. How will the 245/45 fit the 9 inch wheel. Will the rim stick out past the tire? I would love if I could get some pics of this.

2. With the 20×10 and 20×11 set up what difference in driving will I feel with bigger rims and tires. Will the car feel heavier?

3. Can I use the existing tpms with both set ups?

I got this picture off of factory reproductions website. Does anyone know the specs for this set up. This the exact look I'm going for

a 245 on a 9" wide wheel is going to look a little odd compared to the rear if it's not stretched as much.



And yes, the car will feel different with wider tires. It's touching more road so you'll feel more road. Bad? Good? It's personal preference I suppose.



tpms should work on the new wheels just fine.

The first two pics are of a 9 inch front with 275/40's, rears are 10 inch with 315/35's. The third pic is of a 10 inch front with same 275/40, rear is 11 inch with same 315/35 tire. The third pic the wheels you are looking at 10 and 11 wide will have the same offsets as these.

Nice - what are the offsets F/R? I want to run at least the first 9" F & 10" R on my new car, or maybe the 10s/11s but not sure about 10s on the Fronts. So it seems the difference you show here is not the tire size which remained the same, but 1" wider Wheels both front and back?.

Yes. On the first couple pics, I don't remember what the offsets were, they don't make those wheels anymore, and it's been quite a while that I had them, the last pic of the M228's are 10 front, with a +23 offset, rears were 11 with a +43 offset. AND, for a bit, on the rears, I put my 335/30 MPSS's on there just to see if they fit, they did with no issues, then I bought the Feradda's I have now.

The first pic is of the 275/40 on a 10 inch wheel, +23 offset, second pic is of the 335/30 on an 11 inch wheel, +43 offset. The 315/35 tire will be about half an inch narrower, inside and outside for a total of about 1 inch, pretty much dead even with the wheel edge, and fender. Third pic..
