New TSW wheels and tires on my Flex. Pics inside.........

[Sabtaj1]

So I recently purchased new wheels and tires. I know I'll probably have some people frown upon what I went with. But I'm happy with my decision. The wheels:
TSW Mugello
Front-  20x8.5    35mm
Rear-    20x10    42mm

Now we get to the tire selection.....  This is why some will love and hate.  This is what I wanted to do and thought it would work so I took a shot and it worked better than I hoped.
Front-    275/40-20
Rear-      315/35-20

Does not rub anywhere.  Rides and drives great. And to me....  I think it look tough as sh*t..... YAY!!!!!!!!!

I am jealous!!!

Is there a large difference in the circumference from front to rear?

What was the weight difference from the stock wheel/tire combo?

 

[glock-coma]

Looks really good. What size rubber did you go with?

 

[cror1]

looks really nice, must be nice to have so much space under the rear fender.

 

[bpd1151]

The footprint of the rear's is most impressive.

Big fan of that alone!

Nicely executed & pretty cool to see another EB'er venture out into the staggered setup, despite being an AWD platform.

I think the wheel & tire combo looks pretty bangin', well done :thumb:

 

[Vortech347]

Looks great.

Looks really good!!! I dig the wheel choice especially!

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

Looks fantastic and the diameter is spot on, -02.

Nice work!

BEEFCAKE!!!!!!!

The size of the tire isn't showing up on Tapatalk for some reason....
But you can see it in the web view

I think I fixed it.

Damn! Looks awesome! I didn't know you could fit that much tire under it. How much can you fit under the SHO/MKS? Well done Sir!

 

[Sabtaj1]

I have a friend with a sho as well.  Maybe I can try n shove one under it n see

 

[cror1]

Please do so, take some close up pics, and also note if it doesn't fit, and what's in the way. Also, note what it would take to fit if it doesn't fit, and what the biggest tire one could do.

What tires did you going with? I'm going to go with the 275/40R20's all around...as soon as the bank (my wife) releases the funds.

That looks really good.

Can you fit the x10 in the front? for track purposes possibly.

 

[Sabtaj1]

I did not even try the 10" up front.  I don't think that would fly.  Atleast with the offset I am running on the 10s.  As for tires.  I went pretty cheap on these.  If you plane to do the 275/40 all around then I would go Cooper RS3-S. Great reviews, only tip the scales at 28lbs each and $167 a tire through treaddepot.com. That site has great deals on wheels n tires.

I just picked up 20x9 20x10 for my Flex thinking about getting the same size tires any regrets? Are you still running them and like that wide of the tire in the rear?
