Question on wheel size!

[taYab]

I am trying to buy new sets of wheels.
One I am looking for is DPE 20' wheels.
Their size is following with the tire (with Toyo Proxes T1R)
20 x 8.5 Front
20 x 10 Rear
245/30/20
285/25/20

It's exactly same size that the "Slingshot" used.
Slingshot refering to MWDesign black e89.

Will it be too large for the car?
Also, these are the information from the seller.

20 x 8.5 Front (M3 offset also fits 5 Series with or without spacers)
20 x 10 Rear (M3 offset also fits 5 Series with or without spacers)
Tires are Toyo Proxes T1-R
245/30/20 with 95% tread (the nubs are still on the inside)
285/25/20 with 95%+ tread (the nubs are still on the inside)

Personally I think 20" overpowers the look of the car. Also, with a profile of 25 on the rears you had better have a few replacement wheels in your garage at all times. Or drive on glass smooth roads with no pothole in sight for miles. I was really tempted to downsize my 19" wheels for fear of busting another rim.

I've been driving 25 profile tires in the rear since 2005 and I haven't had any issues with bent rims in Vancouver or even occasional out of town driving.

tayab: if those offsets are for the new e92 M3 or e60 5-series, then the offsets are too aggressive. The Z4 runs similar to the e90 aggressive offsets.

Are u the owner of slingshot?
I saw your car several times in UBC golf course. Haha. Nice car.
Anyways, do you know any wheel, tire shop that carries Modulare forged wheels?
Or DPE wheels?
Any suggestion?

+3 all I can say ... except, I may go from 19" to 18" in the near future

also he should have a peek in my Garage to look at a wheel crack that cost me $1,000.00 to replace Click to see the Photographs

Yes I am the owner of the "Slingshot" and our shop designed/built this car.

I've only golfed at UBC 3 times this year...haha

We carry both Modulare Forged and DPE + other forged wheel brands so email us at info@mwdesigntechnik.com, we will set you up with a set.

Cheers.
