Thanks guys. I was told they were 20x9 front and 20x10 rear. Seems about right I suppose but I don't know where else to check. These were my second choice in wheels to the Daytonas but when the good opportunity came up I had to sieze it if you know how that goes.

The weird part is I was told L-Sportline's were hub centric as of late but the rears took the rings I had previously ordered for my make/model. The fronts were too small for the rings but seem like they needed another size or something because we had to re-seat the fronts a few times.

My next immediate plans are to get the new grill painted black and purchase the Erebuni 3-piece spoiler and sidemarker lights (!). More pics later though. I have a set I did for an HDR photo I want to do with the new setup.

Default Wheel offsets?

Thanks guys. I was told they were 20x9 front and 20x10 rear. Seems about right I suppose but I don't know where else to check.



The offsets are normally posted on a sticker on the inside wheel well of the rim! Check there when you can or it may be mounted on the rim on the inside well? Good luck and keep modding baby!

get an alignment immediately. 4grainr here had the bushings replaced on his car 4k miles ago and he chewed through 2 brand new michelin tires already.

Nice!! Those rims.......and on black.

There should be a Work sticker on the inside of each wheel with width and offset. My m1's are 10" wide in the rear but I dont know if they made anything wider than 9.5" for the m4. I think yours are 20x8.5 f and 20x9.5 r w/ a 44 offset all around. I could be wrong Off to a nice start regardless!

That pic is hot. Do you have any rubbing with those springs and your twinkies?? I'm really leaning towards them and can't decide.

Car is lookin super clean
