New rim age, again

I finally got some wheels with the perfect fitment. I am not running any spacers. I ordered the front wheels with an 8.5j width and running 235/20/35, previously I had been running 255s but was getting severe rubbing when turning corners and a lot of tram lining. The rears are still 10.5j with 275/20/30 tyres.

The wheels are made by BC racing and are HB 29s with goss black lip and matte centres.
They weigh a lot less than my previous wheels and the paint job seems a lot better. And the best thing is that they don't cost a fortune!

Yeah they are great ....

I was running that spec on my previous 20s and they rubbed way too much on the inner are when I turned the wheel.

Looks aggressive! I would not be happy with the front tire size if it were me (too narrow and too small of a side-wall) but it looks good in pictures.

This gets my stamp of approval, even though the wheels are black.

Damn the tires are so thin!! 235/20 is ridiculous. I have seen people with 255/30/20 up front, there's even one guy that is trying to get a 285/25/20 to fit in the front on a 10" rim. Looks good in pics though. Congrats.

I'm running the same wheel but 19's no rub lowered on KW sleeve's set at half.

19 x 9 ET20 in the front 245/35/19
19 x 10.5 ET25 in the rear 295/30/19

The wheels have been great so far. You made a good choice!
