Gene,

IN this thread you have all the tools you need to literally look at it on screen. But from the many many threads I have seen, the best appears to be offsets of 42 and 52 with 9 up front and 11 rear for the Vantage. Tire size is either what you have, or 245.35.20 up front and 305.30.20 or 295.30.20 rear

Just a thought Gene, you had DBS first gen wheels on your last, what about second gen ones? Just a thought. I am likely going with the BC Forged RZ21's.

D---- if you can post a picture of them flush and give those sizes in my thread listed above, it can be something members can continue to find where not buried in a thread.

Thanks

I thought vehicles get speed info from the gearbox? or on some of my toys this is the case,or am I wrong?

Depends on the car. Some get it from the transmission, but these get it from wheel speed sensors.

Don't think it would be a good setup for track use but for regular driving??? Thanks

I have 21's on both the front and rear...love the look. It fills the fenders nicely and I don't have any clearance issues, rubbing or any other problems that can be associated with lowering the car to get a filled fender.
