I just saw this car yesterday. Didn't know it was local. Something must have happened to it. It had the spare tire on the front left and the right rear tire was blown out.

By the way.. What type of suspension setup are you running?
The ride height looks perfect.
Lowered on swift springs in the front only. Rear is stock.

Thanks for the feedback. If you haven't yet, definitely get wheels. Wish I did it sooner, but I had to use up the stock tires.

Did you have to roll the fenders or anything? I got swift springs and probably just do the front also.

No rolling/shaving necessary. I rub a little here and there, but nothing that cuts the tire.

I'm about to buy these exact same wheels, but I had a question about the offsets you got. You said you went with 20x8.5 +20 245/30/20 and 20x10 +45 285/25/20, right? I was planning to go with that exact same setup but with 19's. I know the rears will have very minor rubbing with 285's, and I'm fine with that, I'll probably just roll the fenders. But are the fronts okay with that much offset? Do you rub anywhere with the steering wheel at full lock in either direction?

I also find it odd they would recommend that much offset in the front since that actually makes the front stance about about 12mm wider (6mm on each side) than the rear, when the stock setup has the front 5.4mm (2.7mm on each side) narrower than the rear. So your front is actually a whopping 17.4mm wider compared to rears in the original stock stance. With a 19x10 +45 offset in the rear, I would think a +28-30 offset in front, which puts the edges of the front at 2.1-4.1mm narrower than the rears, would be the ideal setup. How does the car handle with the wider front tire track?
