Widening 2013 SHO rear wheels

[MEANSHO]

So has anyone ever thought about widening the rear wheels on your sho? I was considering widening my rear wheels to 20x10 then running spacers to correct the offset. The oem wheels have kinda grown on me I found a company (links below) that will widen wheels.

The widest I have see are 275x40x20 all the way round. But at SEMA I read of 22"-24" how wide is unknow. You should be able to go wider on the back just for looks but us racers see no need to with the fwd bias AWD.

Shoman, whats the wheel offset on the front wheels?

OP, i heard good things of the weldcraft company. But, by the time you pay for the shipping and two wheels, you can Get 4 wheels of 9 inch wide and run them without spacers.and still have factory wheels.

Running a staggered setup on a front biased AWD car just sounds wrong...

Remember increasing tire width with most tire manufacturers increases diameter. Make sure stay within allowable difference, which I believe is 3%

My off=set is 38. At Discount Tire they have a tire calculator that you find all the size compare. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/infoTireMath.do

I thought you couldnt run different size tires on AWD cars?

 

[SHOdded]

A +/- 3% differential between front/rear tire height is allowed by this system.

I've had my staggered set up running w/o any issues whatsoever now for nearly 4yrs.

SHOdded's correct, 3% difference (at most) between front/rear axle is tolerable/manageable.
