I called the Tire Rack today. The Continental's are on "back-order" for the 325/25/20. However, they have (4) Pzero Nero's and (4)Michelins in 325/25/20 left. Additional shipments arriving 3/30/07. The 325/25/20 (11.5 width) and 345/25/20's are good for 12-13 widths) with 12.5 being the ideal fit. As some will note: #020's widebody kit at Archie is a 11 width rim. Troyboy is sporting 12" on the IRM wide body using 345/25/20.

Strange isn't? Back on 11/4/03 I was worried about the regular IRM rocker issues and now...[we] have the wide body IRM rockers. Progress waits for nobody, hehe.

Byw, dont worry about the tire size, it will be a rubber band...295/25/20 P nero zero's. It has the same diameter of a 245/35/19. yeah I know its a Caleeforian thing, strickly for the bling, bling in yah, he,he.

Forward to the future: Wide body IRM rockers.

20x12 DUB:

You can't really appreciate how big the lip is on the rears until you see them in person.

Totally sick ! That is a good thing BTW.

I have to agree

Nice! If I ever had a GT I would like it to look just like this. Then would paint it either yellow or electric blue Very nice.

Mounting the beef:

We started off by using a 20" band for clamping the rim onto the tire mounting unit. This prevent unwanted scarring of the 6.5" inner lip. During this period, two persons are working together in mounting the tire. The flange is made of hardened plastic to prevent scratches to the outer 2" lip, but in this case..it wasn't used. Hector (P.E. Motoring) usually charges me $20 bucks for mounting and balancing.

20" plastic band









Tire size: 245/35/18 mounted on a 18x8.5; the same sized used on the stock Lamborghini up fronts.

Chuck, you forgot the lip sizes, hehe.

man... you guys spend more on rims then the reast of spend on our cars... lol they do look nice though.

Three month.....

Two month.....

Winter cleaning:

Those look amazing! The view from the back looks like a fiero should IMO.

I do have one question though. How much do they weigh? I know 20's are heavy even when you can afford the HRE's. No one lists weights for bigger then 18's for the most part. If you know off hand or have access to a scale and some free time I would really appreciate it. Lookin' great!

The weight: Full disclosure

HRE 20x12 is morbidly phat @ 31 pounds!



More info on weights here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F.../HTML/046552-13.html

What trans do you run? Those will be some real buggers to turn if you race at all!

Looks phenomenal.

I figured around there. Thats actually very light for a 20x11. Only 10lbs over stock. I think the 16x6 grand am wheels the previous owner put on my car weigh about the same. Thanks for the info.

A 19x11: Wheels test fitting using Chuck "MotorTV" brought one of his rear wheels over today for a test fit on #25 taken from the #025 thread.


V8Archie's comments:

The outside wall of the tire sticks out about 1/2" at the top of the wheel well.



More pics











No $100.00 Bills here.



More like 75 cents...

So the wheels stick out a little on David's car ?

Is it because of the difference in model years of the fieros involved or did yours do this as well ?

quote Originally posted by exoticse: So the wheels stick out a little on David's car ? Is it because of the difference in model years of the fieros involved or did yours do this as well ?

Yes. It appears to be 1/2" on both cars using Chuck's 20x11.5 and #020's 20x11.

We haven't truely checked the rear differences but it appears that the rear 88 are a bit wider vs 84-87. #020 is a 87 and #015 is a 88, but it's a home brew kit.
