CC Owners: Suspension/Wheels/Tires - with specs & pictures

[InvertedB]

Just got a set myself... Wasn't able to put them on bc one of the hub rings were missing from one of the boxes.

I can't wait to see them, those look amazing!

[flexnix]

Anyone here on 20x8.5 all around and with Eibach springs only? Pics and tire size please.

245-35-20 should be fine for 20x8.5? I don't like the stretched look.

Im on 20x9 all around with H&R's, tire size 245-35-20. My biggest recomendation would be to stay with a ET40, you might need to stay with ET45 on the rear, no lower than that if you will be on springs. Otherwise you might run into rubbing issues. My pics are on pg. 44.

I can't remember when I pulled my wheels off a few days ago but are the stock wheel bolts ball or taper bolts? I'm getting ready to buy spacers which come w/extended bolts and not sure which bolts to purchase. Does it matter...?

Thanks!

[1badhare]

i think factory is ball?

[pEAkfrEAk]

Right, ball

[xx4u2nvxx]

Thanks fellas!

[AustinChappell]

Finally alittle better stance. I'm at 6 threads left in the back and like 4 left up front with my FKs. Could probably come up a bit in the back or alittle lower in front.... Opinions?

Tires to fender? Far from... Speed bumps and dips, maybe, lol.

What are you FTG right now?

[AustinChappell]

25.25 in the front and 25.50 in the back. I think I'm going to drop the front to 25" maybe a tad more. Weather has been pretty ****ty

Which FK's do you have?

I'm a hair under 25" in the front with my Konis and still have 12 threads left
25.25" in the rear with a bunch of threads left too

[AustinChappell]

Yea I thought the thread count was off. I was under the impression that the fk streetlines would pretty much set it on the ground lol. That's just what the guy told me. I don't have the tools to do the rears so I take it to a shop. I'll check the thread count when I lower the front more.

Very nice but you need spacers big time.
Love those wheels

[mk62cc]

Does anyone here have staggered wheels with a drop? I just installed some BE Breyton staggered 19s and they look extremely flush with no spacers. I fear adding a drop will create rubbing issues.

19 x 9.5 rear with ET42
19 x 8.5 front with ET35

tires: 255/35R19 all around. Yes they are straight walled in the front and yes it looks horrible. :-)

Sorry, should've added pics

Try a 235 all around and that could save you some rubbing... rear cambers in a little and front also. so could be straight...

Thanks for the reply.

I am not a big fan of excessive tire stretch. Do you know if anyone has a 9.5" wide rim with a 235 tire? Pictures anywhere? I would like the tire bead to be in contact with the inside of the rim face. Also, I have staggered rims and uni-directional tires which leaves me without the ability to rotate tires. Do you know if the added camber would produce uneven tire wear over time?

Bthasht thanks for the link and from what I saw there that is exactly what I want to avoid.

Snobrdrdan did a pretty in depth review of the Eibach Pro Kit springs and it looks like a 1" drop in the front and a .8" drop in the back would be perfect without major issues depending on what the new setup maximum travel is during compression when going over holes or bumps in the road.

Hmmmm, so many choices and decisions...

Finally got my wheels back from paint and I must say, I'm very happy with how they turned out.
