Default Work in Progress. Wheels have arrived..Concave!

Wheels just arrived on Friday, thought I'd snap a few pix before fender work & paint are complete.

Rotiform BLQ 20x10 225/35/20 & 20x11 245/35/20

Thanks for looking!

I am a newb and am looking to pick up some new wheels too.

Quick question - why do the tires look too skinny for the rear wheels?

Its called Stretching the tire. Helps the tire clear the fender for less rubbing issues.

Sorry to pee on your parade, but that looks completely gash!
You've too much offset on those wheels, so much so the rims are outside the imaginary vertical line from the arches.
Each to their own and all that, but sometimes less is just so much more.
Steer well clear of kerbs - you'll take lumps out of the rim otherwise.

I'm trying to wrap my head around him dropping it, it will probably look like that silly demon camber Although the wheels all in itself looks awesome!

^+1!

I understand the purpose of stretching, but in this case it just looks too extreme. The wheels themselves look awesome though !
