Help with choosing new rims

[ekvals]

Hi.

I was hoping someone could help me decide what kind of wheels i should go for.

I was hoping to get some 20" wheels. I've been looking at the staggered style with the combination of 275 and 315.

I've seen that this is oem for the 4.4 engine type, but my car is a 3.0l.

Is there different offset values between these cars.? Will wheels meant for the 4.4 stick further out on the 3.0.?

Are there other problems with installing these kinds of rims on the 3.0.?

Thanks in advaned..

No difference... They will bolt right up.

It would be advised to get an alignment done though so you don't wear the rears too fast. The specs are slightly different from the smaller tires to the big ones due to the amount of rubber on the road.

Okey.

Thanks for the input.

This means that a 10,5 inch wide rim with 35 offset would not stick further out then the side of the car, even without the larger flares.?

What do you think of these.? I can not decide which i like best. Its for a black 3.0.

Please bear in mind that i live in Norway, and that shipping from UK to here is a lot less then from the US.

Definitely the rep 87's for me. Not too busy like the 215 or 214.
