20's On Alero

Hey i have some veloctiy 495 rims. the back ones don't fit but the front ones do. the back ones hit that strut when i put them on just. they hit barley hit them like a inch and a half.
is there a way i can fix.

Thanks

too wide. What's the width of the rim and the backspacing. Might be able to get a spacer and longer lugnuts.

might help if you posted complete rim/tire info.

yeah, the only way to fit 20's without suspension mods is if you get high offset with narrow width. what size tires are you trying to use?

Im thinking you have 20X8 if the front fits without rubbing, so like grouch said spacer and longer lug nuts, or get 20X7.5 rims thats the only ways to make them fit.

Velocity 495 20"
LUG PATTERN: 5X4.5 5X5.75

OFFSET: HIGH

SIZE: 20X8.5

Tires Nitto 235/35/20

Those are the specs.
Theres no way i can get different struts or springs?
the back rims hit the bottom of that spring thing it needs like a inch

thanks

Your going to have trouble because where RWD bolt patterns and FWD bolt patterns maybe the same, the offsets never are

This is from our FAQ link on the homepage

maybe im just a stupid girl, but i dont think 20's would look good on our car...17's i think are a bit too small, 18's are perfect...i think 20's would just be a bit too much....but thats my opinion....dont listen to me :P

You're tellin me this isn't hott?!

ne of you gusy think if my rims sticking out in the back about 1.75 inches would look good?
because thats what im gonna have to do if i get adapters.
also do any of you guys know where to find some good reliable places to purchase good adapters??
last place i bought form adaptamerica@aol.com stole my money.

[FormulaNERD]

i say have some billet adapters machined... shouldnt be too pricey, and they'll last forever.

[mike2002]

thats the only N-body ive ever seen that looked good with 20's

19's would look better inmo in that style, but it looks awesome (and better than the same exact 18's he had)

Sticking out 1.75" past the fender? it'll look like ass

Nik1128, naw man that does look sweet. when i think of 20s on our car i wouldnt expect it to look that good.

So is there another option for me other then getting the Adapters??

cause im starting to think i should sell em..

o by the way, if i do sell these rims, what type of 20" rim and tire should i get
(like the offset and tire sizes)
ne help would be great!

thanks

sell 'em and get some rims that are 20x7.5

You guys recommend me selling them on ebay or try to sell them in the streets by putting flyers up?

Sorry for all the questions but i guess this is what its for right?

What is offset=HIGH

We need an exact number.

You could buy the spacers along with a set of fender flares to cover up those extra inches :unsure:

[FormulaNERD]

it could look good. alot of work, but COULD

no.. wait, maybe not.

[turtles_ride]

buy the spacers, and a 215 tire. I don't think they'll stick out that much, prolly won't even be noticeable. But if they stick out too much get the stainless steel wheel well trim from the site on here under all parts(just under new posts or something on our menu) they're only about $100 and stick out another 1/2 inch then our regular fenders. I wouldn't get rid of the rims and rubber if you can make it work, and i think you should be able to get it all together by the time the weather starts warming up.
