What wheel manufacturers offer wheels with our correct offset? I'm looking for20x10 & 20x11 with 285/30/20 & 305/30/20. Not looking to get flow forge or high dollar wheels. Been looking at MRR would like to see other options.

Flow forge - or known by others as rotary forged, is not expensive by others like MMR...maybe 50-100 over cast, lighter and a bit safer. See my post on this thread for good offsets with pics:

Expensive is relative. Glen is right flow forged are not considered expensive unless you are buying HRE flow forged wheels. Now you can get forged for the price of their flow forged rims.

MRR does alot in the right offsets for 20x10 and 20x11 from most the 23 front and 43 rear offsets tend be the go to for our cars. I am running these dimension rims with 285/35/20 and 305/35/20

Are OEM 1LE or ZL1 wheels too expensive?

Thanks for the input. I guess I should've also mentioned, I won't be tracking the car, just recreation and garage queen! Lol want it to look good without rubbing or sticking out to far.

There definitely isn't enough info on offsets. I'm with you on the question.
What year & model do you have? I'm in the same boat as you with a 2011 SS.

Mine is gen6 2SS. Seen posts even by MRR saying 285/35/20 & 305/35/20 w/o issues?? Others say gotta run 30's or rubbing issues! Not sure what to believe now!!

Apparently tapatalk doesn't differentiate between the 2 sites. Stupid app.

The issue with the 35 series tires on the front, regardless of offset, is height. The tire rubs on the bottom of the spring perch. Since the perch is not perfectly flat (perch angles down and is at its lowest closest to the shock body), the higher your offset, the worse it rubs. It becomes more of an issue if you want to run aggressive negative camber. With a 285/35 tire a 20x10 with +25 offset will rub unless you are at the least aggressive extreme of factory alignment spec for street. You will NOT get to the track spec. A 20x10 with a +20 offset can run between -1.0 and -1.5 negative camber really depending on the tire manufacturer. 285/35 sizes vary slightly from one brand to the next. For example, a Michelin PSS is slightly larger than a BF Goodrich Sport Comp A/S. Even though the difference is small, since the clearance is so tight, it makes a difference. If you drop to a 30 series tire, you can max out the negative camber.

I have a 20x10 with +23 with 285/35-20 BF Goodrich Sport Comps for my regular setup. I can run -1.0 negative camber (middle of factory spec range) with absolutely no issues.

The rears 20x11, +43 with 305/35 tires only have issues when you have the wiring harness in the factory spot. Re-route and its not a problem.

I am running this no problems with new continentals that just came out. I did the wire reroute and liner tuck. No problems with weight and 4 people.

[thehartfive]

I've seen the reroute,but not the liner tuck? What's involved?

Non-MRC right?

OP - do you have MRC? That seems to be the difference maker on 285/35's up front from everything I can gather.

Seriously, this is not a new subject and any of the vendors here are fitting hundreds of sets a month to readers here. They know what works and what does not. Look in the wheels-vendors forum (not this one) and start emailing. You're dealing with major vendors here, I've never read a post of somebody who got wheels and they didn't fit perfectly with what they wanted. Forged wheel source, PK, need for speed etc. etc. good guys… All their pricing is essentially the same
