Question 20x7.5" +35MM all around w/ 235-30-20 tires - Y/N?

Hello All,

Do you think this setup is OK? Thinking about picking up another set of stockers.

CURRENTLY -


Photoshop by Seize


PIX of the wheel upclose - 20x7.5


I hope the tires are not too small. Currently considering 235-30-20 - Falken FK452.

Thank you,

Yes. I did want to go for the VIP look but i am taking whichever comes to me. So now, OEM look is good to me too!

I totally missed out on a set of 20" Work LS406 and i am a bit bummed.

But i came across this set locally which I might pick up as well.

So, yeah. 225/35/20?

Thats a nice looking factory wheel, But again its a small width. 7.5 would be comparable to the factory 17" gs wheel, So yeah some monster spacers to bring em out. Im personally more for a big deep pizza dish!!

when i first bought my car... drove it stock for 8 months until i actually saved up money and spent like 4 grand in a month haha suspension (coilovers, ball joints, caster, rack bushing) and wheels & tires... one big plus to all this... i did all the labor and save me probably a few grand haha but yeah it was all well worth the wait..

IMO that set up is a bit to narrow, with a small tire to boot, the wheels thenselves look fine, but I'm thinkin' no......
