Hey guys!

I put 20 inch rims (34 offset I believe) on my truck about a month ago. I love the new look. I was really hard to find 20's wiht the hyper silver finish, but I scored some on ebay. The rims looks like a perfect match as the sun begings to set.

I have no spacers on here at all despite the claims that I would need 1 inch ones all around from the guy who drilled out the rims. I did however have to shave down (grind) the rotors plate in the front. This is the first time I have heard of the problem in the frfont with the rim coming in contact with the rotor. The amount removed was about an eighth of an inch so there should be no negative repercussions.

The tires are Avontech 245 45 20 in size. These tires are great. There is definately a more rough ride now than before. As any drop + 4-5" rim increase will have. I love the look and the treads these tires have along with the price tag and high ratings they got at tirerack. The wheel diameter increased slightly with this combo so my speedometer is a little slower and my MPG has gone down .7 in the last month. I wish I knew how much the diameter influenced the change over the difference in weight and more road tension with the wider tires.

The suspension got a drop with some intrax springs I picked up off ebay. These spring have a unique purple color that is hardly noticible unless closely inspected. I repainted the lower shock mounts to match my car due to some light rusting. The calipers were also done in black while the tires were off.

Thanks to my brother for coming through on this project so far....up next is the aerotuner body kit that I need to get painted and mounted within the month.

Lookin good man! I wanna see what kit you got for it.

Very, very nice...and an all black RX just like mine

Looks mean but cool.

I was thinking about getting the Intrax springs, I think a 1.5 inch drop. There are some performance advantages to that that I like.

I like the way you shot the last picture. Normally, I do not think the rear spoiler on a black looks as good as it does with other color RXs, but you managed to take a nice shot that gives that spoiler a beautiful look on black.

Thanks for all the positives so far. The truck is actually charcoal gray in color (coach edition).

sgv_bum
