looking good, Im still debating which rims I want to get. I'm still leaning to a classic 5 spoke, black/chrome. Have you put them on or still thinking bout it? Im sill debating about 20" or 19" rims, I still think that 20's would be perfect for this car, but I don't want to ruin the ride of it, one of the reasons I bought the car was at how smooth it was, at least to me. So if you do put em on, let us know if there are differences on ride style.

I love the wheels - nice choice! i personally would probably do 19s and would not do staggered setup on a FWD car. If the rear wheels were sunk in to far, would probably put some spacers to help get them more flush.

yea, i'm actually not doing staggard, its 9inches all the way around, custom lip sizes for the look only.

Update, the vendor got back to me and said that i will have camber problems running on 9 instead of 8.5... Does a .5 matter that much? this sucks!

Hmmm if you have different sized lips 'for the look only' then in essence you're still running staggered setup even if they have the same size tire on the rims. You have all the negatives (can't rotate) and won't get the positives (more traction / bigger contact patch in a RWD car).

Hey DaveGS4,

What size and brand spacers would you recommend for the rear?

The difference is marginal but the Front wheels are more flush than the rear.

245/35/20

Not sure on the width though.

If the car was RWD - staggered for sure. But I am very happy with the car nonetheless.
