Im getting offered a good deal on a set of 20x9.5 wheels. Just wanted to make sure that a 9.5 wheel would fit in front? Thanks in advance

Yes it will. If you want it to turn properly though make sure you get the offset and tyre size correct.
A 275/35R19 ET47 is fine. So I'm guessing a 275/30R20 or 245/35R20 will also.

^^ yeah but, it all depends on the offset. and 275/30/20 is kinda pushing it, maybe there might be some rubbing when turning.... but then, its all about the offset.

check the offset but should be ok

 

[w140king]

I would hate to pass up a good deal, i have untill tomorrow to decide if not seller said he'll find another buyer. The offset is 40mm all around.

do it. I know we can fit 9" wide ET35 for the fronts

the rim size is fine (with correct offset) but I wouldnt put a 275 tire on the front....

I agree, 275 is way to wide for the front... if nothing else, you will wear the outer edge of your tires in no time...

My 10" rear has a 275/30/20. Rear is fine

Actually my 245/35/20 in the front is rubbing a little on the inside. Car is lowered though.

FYI

A Fender roller should solve your turning problems. I am going to run 20x9 (+30mm) Front and the Rear 20x10.5 (+21mm) =)

Should have clarified.....rubbing on the inside. Rubbing some of the suspension somewhere. Just noticed in Nov. when I swaped lefts to rights. Will be checking into this when it warms up.

I'd have to measure but I think my fronts are 9 wide and I'm having this problem. My rim/tire is almost completely to the outer edge of the fender. I'm just saying, 9-1/2" might be getting too wide if mine are 9's and giving me an issue. I might have to go to a different size tire......245/30/20.....to drop the profile down a bit.

Lol yes i do know that it is going to rub so i am prepared to tackle that problem by pulling and rolling out my fenders. Not only am i going to roll and pull but im going to get some metal work done and flare out my rear fenders to fit the 20x10.5. The wheels that im using are made for a SL500. This is what im going for below.

Just leave her out in the rain for a couple of years then

 

[hellah fresh]

OH i mean the stance of the car + Fender work... Not the rust lol.

 

[bayhas]
