They are 225/35/20 and hit hard on the base of the upper ball joint.

Are they AU OR PRE AU offset?

So maybe with less sidewall flex of the 20's, and varying differences between brands it might be sitting as high as a 225/60/16 which i know "just" hit the ball joint. So try a tyre with less sidewall |

hows it goin mate i got 20x 8.5s on my ea but i had to get hub adaptors for the rear and i got a brake upgrade on the front because they are au offset rims but they fit perfect but just make sure your tyre wall isnt any higher than 25 mm i had to get my fron tyres swapped to fit it theres another bloke vermatilla on here he done the exact same thing but yea this is best pic i got was taken on a phone but they do look nice wit the right hight and colour seen sum on a stock eb wit crap paint n jus made it look stupid

ea street sleeper
How thick are the rear hub adaptors??? I ran AU onwards offset with front 19x8 or 8.5 & 19x9.5 rear and ran 35mm hub adptors all round and ive noticed a few other guys running thinner hub adaptors which dosent make much sence to me. I now sold the wheels to my mate who has a AU and they sit exactly the same on his car and what i mean is as clearence both out and inside the wheel tub.

So does your rear rim and front rim sit inline if you were to put i string in between them both or there is a slight angle???
The funny thing is when i had the 35mm hub adaptors front and rear with the 19's the wheel track was not out, it was exactly the same measurement as factory. The way you measure that is with the factory rim on and you measure from the centre from 1 tyre to the other and see what it measures up 2. Thats the wheel track, see if you can measure stock wheel track to your current and see if its been modifed at all.

in NSW wheel track can be widened by 5mm each side so i think u will be ok but if you see another EA just measure it up just so you know becuz at least then u can call the engineer and tell him the wheel track before you even head down there and get the run around.
