Default Forged wheels, vap suspension wortec rotors set up.

I been reading through the old forums and seen many individuals went with wortec rotors and the 20x9 & 20x10.5 staggered options for rims. Seems like someone had to put 6 mm spacers in order for everything to fit with no rub or problems with calipers. Question is what is the ET for this option while not wanting to put spacers on?

Also out of curiosity Michelin ss 4s 255 and 295 tires will fit on this set up correct?

Thanks in advance.

Everything you've mentioned is std sizes for 20" wheels and no you dont need spacers as all you'll be changing is the disc itself
calipers are the original calipers.
The et is specific to each individual aftermarket wheel mine for example is 17 rear and 34 front which are very extreme and push the wheel out inline with the
edge of the wheel arch.

I had to use a 3mm spacer on a 9.5 wheel, but that was because of the aftermarket VS Forged wheel design , not the Wortecs. The Wortecs don't change any of the clearance dimensions. If you're going to gave a problem, it will be with the OEM rotors as well. I believe VS Forged has since solved the issue.

Those offsets are about 4-5mm too little (particularly on the rear) if you want to avoid rubbing during limit of traction cornering or going over big bumps.

Well i have been running them for 6 months now and no rubbing on the front, i did have to shave the rear wheel arch lip though as that did rub
but not anymore
Looks great as well

The front has never been an issue. The rear is where serious damage can occur if it happens going over a bump.

As i said Unhinged, i've shaved the inner lip on the rear arches so bumps dont make any difference now
