All Square 10J 666m Setup

Hi

Has anyone tried and run this setup before? Does it work? Are there any pics?

It will work, but you'd want spacers at the front. 15-20mm should be about right to make them look even with the rear.

Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion, based on factory offsets.

front is 9.0 ET 29
rear is 10.0 ET 40

Mounting the rears on the fronts would push the fronts out 2mm, with 24mm less inner wheel clearance. Adding a spacer would only exaggerate this.

I'm not going to speculate on inner wheel clearance without spacers, because i've never tried it, but if spacers need to be added, it's going to be for the inner clearance, definitely not to push the wheels out wider. In which case, 10mm front/12mm rear would be safe for inner and outer tire clearance for stock and lowered cars. Could go more aggressive to a 12mm front/15mm rear depending on what OP is looking for.

My bad, you are correct. I was just helping a guy with advice on doing a square setup with winter tires and got the offsets mixed up in my head. The 10 ET40 should fit fine without spacers, though camber may allow the spacers to work, depending on the tire choice.

I doubt the 20X10 666M will fit up front without spacers. My 19X10 437M would not fit even with 12mm spacers (with a 275/35-19 tire mounted). You'll likely need a 20mm spacer to fit the fronts.

Good point. The 275 tire is the problem. But that's nothing new, known for a while now. I was thinking only of the wheel and completely forgot to think about the tire. Just as important.

If you're running a 10" wheel in the front, the offsets should be around 25 or 20 depends on the suspension and tire size... So spacers are definitely needed.

Thank you for the replies gentlemen.

Reason why I asked is that I’m sitting with 3 rear 666m wheels and one front wheel.

I will test fit one rear tomorrow and report back
