I know the rear is 12x20, and my HRE's i had two different sets on 997TT and they both were 9x20 and 12x20, but I see a lot of ppl running 8.5x20...Please advise

Im not too sure, but I think 20x8.5 would be best for lowering...but im Curious to also know the anwser to this...anybody?

 

When I ordered my zone wheels they said if my car was lowered, that a 9x20 might rub.

 

Im not lowering my car.....In chicago i already run an obstacle course everytime i drive, a lowered car would make it worse and prolly take off my front end...Lowered my cars in the past but the roads werent nearly this bad

go 8.5 to be safe

 

if your not going to lower it, I think 20x9 would be best.... good luck, let us know what you end up doing

 

I would go with a 9x20. We have run a 9x20 front and 12x20 rear setup on our shop C2 and there was no rubbing, lowered with H&R.

Pics for referrence:



The front wheels look MASSIVE in this picture, but it's just the camera lens playing tricks on your eyes. They're really a perfect fit. These wheels, by the way, are for sale.

 

If the roads are as bad in Chicago as they are in N.J. ... I'd stay away from the 20's and go with the 19's. You'll need all the side-wall-rubber you can get to keep the rim from getting bent, bashed and bruised. You'll save a lot on replacement tires from them pinching on the pot-hole impacts too. I'd love to get 20's on my sled, but in the Snow/Salt-Belt the roads are a constant mine-field out to get your tires and rims.
You guys in the Sun-Belt have no idea how lucky you have it!
