3.3TT 20" wheels tire sizing

[John Martin]

Ok.

I am currently running the Ark 270's with the stock tire sizes. I am not happy with the wheels. Already bent 2 of them with just normal driving. They aren't bent bad and I don't feel a vibration but I want to do something else. I'm thinking the Keendesign 20's. What size tires are y guys running with 20's. 8.5 on the front and 10 on the back?

Thanks in advance

call ark and see if they can exchange them out I'm sure they will

have a look here Aftermarket Wheels
there where some discussions about width and Offset. but I think the ark are already pretty good on that.
or contact @GetYourWheels they are really helpfull aswell


I thought about the ark 270 aswell. are they really that bad?? bacause I'm not allowed to run them in Germany annyway. that's why I haven't bought them yet

Just out of curiosity why can’t you run them over there? The ark wheels are heavy, IMO there was a gentleman in here who put a square set of spin wheels 20” that look fantastic on the stinger. I think they are only 8.5 wide though

basicly the wheels have to pass a test, where they break a wheel to see what load it can handle. 1 test cost alot of Money (IDK I guess about 2000€ + 1-3 wheels). so far so good. You have to make a new test for every slight Offset, width, Diameter and bolt pattern/diameter Change. you have a confirmed test with +35 Offset, but you are not alowed to run +36 Offset
even if the wheel you want to run, is confirmed for lets say a Nissan GTR (+550hp) they have to do a new test for the stinger (366 hp max) some times they need to do a new test just because of AWD/RWD

Wow, unbelievable some of the things they have been allowed to do by the citizens.

Do you have Awd or rwd, and what lowering springs looks awsome!

Hey Rob - no rubbing. No issues. I just did the sway bars on Monday and it helped steering and handling. Prior to the bars the steering effort increased a little. I would say it's perfect for my DD and driving habits. Only regret at this point is how heavy the wheels are but I have already gotten a second set of 19in Konigs that I will be putting the stock Michelin tires on once the weather gets a little warmer.

Man that looks perfect . Almost as if the car was made for a squared setup .

Do you find it handles a lot differently? Massive oversteer?

So you're going back to 19" staggered?
