Default New Wheels & Tires!

20 x 10.5 Niche Misano matte black wheels on 275/40R20 Parada Spec-X tires. I love the look now that I covered all the silver trim pieces in matte black as well.This is the first Prosecco 955 that I have seen like this.
Thinking about rear spacers... Thoughts?

Thanks TCZ! I like your car! I see you are running 14mm fronts and 20mm rear spacers? Where did you get them? How did you determine which size to get?

Thanks

ECS Tuning is a good source. Some trial and error to get the fitment I liked.
My stock wheels were 21x10 with ET50. and the new wheels are 22x10 ET 50, so with the spacers I end up at ET36 front and ET 30 rear.
I like the set up. Pretty flush with no poke.

Your wheels are 10.5 wide so you have to consider that and look at the offset then go from there to determine how many more MMs you want to push the wheels out. Might want to consider lowering as well if you want the full effect
Cheers

I really like. Simple and not over done. As an owner of 22’s I think you made a great choice in 20” for many reasons. I had The prada tires butcthis time went with the Continentals and I much prefer the Continental for being Quiet and longer lasting.

Definitely go for the spacers and lower it for an even better look. I used 20mm spacers with my 20 inch wheels and lowered by about 35mm - perfect for me!

Looks good. Take a straight edge and put it horizontally across the fender flare and wheel well. The wheel and tire combination should not cause a gap between the fender flares and straight edge on the upper third of the wheel. Proper look and fitment will have the fender flares and wheel / tire all touching the straight edge at the same time. If only the flares are touching, spacers will improve the look. If only the wheel or tire are touching, that's too much poke IMO and doesn't look as good as it couple, even though that's a current trend.

Here's what proper straight edge fitment looks like at sport ride height.

Looks good! I'm a fan of the Paradas Spec-X too.

Looks good. I almost bought these Misanos but they discontinued them in 21s. Only 2 left in the country. There aren't many 21" options in 5x130.
