    Default Just a quick wheel question.

    Hi guys, i am thinking about getting a set of Advanti Gauntlet (20x8.5 Front & 20x9.5 Rear) Staggered option.

    Do these wheels require spacers, and what is the minimum width tire for the rear please.

    Cheers all for your time.

    Looks are subjective.

    As for tyre width for the rear 9.5's, I've heard of anything between 265's and 285's being fitted. 275's are the most common.

    Thank you for the info, and yes everyone sees things in different ways to each other.

    What rims do you run Xonar just out of curiosity ?

    Cheers.

    Ugly rim but certainly not the worst Advanti out there.

    Ask one of the guys at Wheel Deal (see their forum in the sponsor section) and get will give you a definite answer.

    HSV wheels are 20x8.5 front 48p offset with 245/35R20 rubber and 20x9.5 rear 56p offset with 275/30R20 rubber

    Can we get a sticky on wheels? there too many threads about 20' n 22's on VE now, infact to many wheel threads on all commodore models.....
