Default Finally! It's Here!

Finally, it's here! I been waiting for a long time for my wheels to come in and it finally did yesterday. I got Vellano VSB 20" staggered. Front 9" wide and 3 1/2" lip. Rear 10" wide and 4 1/2" lip. Here are some pictures that I took. Tell me what you guys think.

Looks really nice. Wheels remind me of Lexani's. What offset and tire sizes did you use? Any rubbing issues?

there appears to be some poke w/ those wheels...what's the offset? and do you have a rear shot looking forward to see how much the wheels protrudes? Do you plan on lowering it?

I like the staggered look.

I would lower her like 1.5" though.

What size rubber on the rear? Looks like you have 245's back there or something from the stretch that I see.

Front is 245/35/20 with an offset of 38. Rear is 275/30/20 with an offset of 42. I tried with two adults in the back and two in the front and I have no rubbing at all. Of course I didn't lower my car yet.
