Had these put on today.

For those who may ask, these are the specs:

20x8.5 - 38mm offset wheels, with hub-centric rings
245/45R20 tires





I'll get better pics later....

Wheels were $850 shipped to my front door. The tires I had from a set of Chrysler 300 take-offs, that I'm using the wheels for another car (so approximately, $350 for tires). Hub rings were $20. New lug nuts (which are required since the OEM lugs will NOT work) $30.

Installation, which consisted of removing OEM tires, pulling the TPMS sensors, re-mount tires with regular valve stems, then install TPMS sensors in new wheels, and mount and balance,and install on the vehicle, $110.

So somewhere under $1,400.

Thanks!
So far the ride is good, better feel of the road, and only a very slight increase in road roughness.....much less than I expected........still very comfortable to ride in.

I did lose 1-MPG....and I think it's primarily due the heavier wheels (38 lbs each).
