It depends on whether the wheels are designed for a 12x1.5mm lug bolt with a radius seat or a 14x1.5mm bolt with a cone seat (just learned more than I ever wanted to know). I *guess* with a 30mm offset it is 12 but best ask.


Also a 275x30x20 is 26.5" tall so a definite maybe (27" is max on mine but axles are not always positioned properly).

They are a radius seat 12 , but the ET gets me
I have 275X30X20s on now with 30mm spacers at back and 245X35X20 with 15mm spacers front . they do fit but i had to lift the springs to stock to do it.
I would like really to havethe deeper dish lip instead of spacers.

This is a great site for modeling wheels and tires side by side.

I think you may have not learnt enough, being 14 mm does not mean it has a cone seat. That would be a false assumption on your part.

Well it looks like they will fit fine and without spacers too .
I like the look but found the wheels in my first post are actually an AMG modular 5 spoke Replica .. and the sellers price is way too high. i can buy em new for that.

ideas for any other deep dish rims that fit welcome !

Ok so after having read and learned from this forum all about what fits without any spacers, i have now ordered a set of Mandrus Wilhelm rims with black spokes ,20x10 rear and 19x8.5 fronts
275 30 20 and 225 35 19 Kumho ecsta ku39 tires.
i think they are going to look sweet on my black 6!
I love this forum -)

Looks like a lot of curb rash. Date listed 12/4/2017 questionable.
