[QUOTE="scottm, post: 1218453, member: 25876"] +35 works for my winter wheels, but there is a minor rub of tire to inside fender liner when doing a hard turn in reverse. No harm done, just a frightening noise the first time you hear it. People use a hot air gun to soften the fender liner and push it out a bit for an additional 1 cm of clearance or so in that spot. Problem solved. I would suggest +20 is pushing it a bit too far off spec. It's amazing how much additional torque is put on the geometry of the suspension for an inch of offset that is off-spec... equivalent to adding another 1000 lbs of car on each corner. You want to keep as close to spec 40 as possible, for this heavy car. [/QUOTE]
