Advice with my wheel / tire situation

[jonfreestar]

Hello,New to the forums. have to say great page and tons of info.

Before you go here we go again another customer with questions about what tires / wheels will work. I read those post got lots of info.

Here is the advice I am looking for. I have a set of Foose Hornet 20" chrome wheel ( got them for 185 a piece brand new from the manufacture) cant beat that. they are 20x8.5 with a +34 offset. My tires are a Kuhmo Ecsta 245/35R20.I knew I would have to roll the quarters in most likely. I work at a body shop no problem.I have done that and I still get slightly rubbing on really bad potholes or on body flex.I have a few options to go and was looking for some more advice before I decide.

1) have the wheels sent out and have 5 mils taken of the back plate. It would make them a +39/40 offset.

2) for the body roll put in a rear sway bar. Seems like the Stillen is the way to go based on the info I have read? Would I need to put in the front strut bar as well?

3) Also I have clearance for straight suspension travel. I can put load in the rear and quarters wont rub when vehcile is under load. Seems on body roll.Would lowering the vehcile with springs be another option.

Vehicle is a 2005 2.5S. 42000 miles.

Any advice would be appreciated. I have old style honda quarter wheel well moldings covering the metal where I rolled to quarter so no worried about tirs being cut, but dont like then rubbing even slightly.

thank you

Seems like you need to pull the fenders, mill the wheel hubs down 5 mm AND get a rear strut bar.

My motto is to take the easiest and cheapest route first, so I'd pull the fender lip for more clearance. You work at a body shop so that should be free.

If that doesn't work, try to get the wheels milled. Shouldn't cost more than about $25 per wheel at a decent machine shop.

If those two together don't work, try the rear sway bar. Stillen will work find. Don't bother with the front unless you really want to limit body roll for auto-x or something.

Wheels that aren't the right offset don't seem like such a good deal now do they? jk.
