Are you asking for a 2GS? 20x9 +37 will be pretty flushed up front and will require some tweaking. This setup in the back unfortunately won't be as aggressive.

yea 2G, am I looking at some rubbing during turning or more serious complications? I'd been eyeballing them, but decided to make the jump. Before I submit the paypal (and this is my first ebay offense) wanna make sure this wont be a pita.

I assume you are going to lower the car too.

They are 20s so you will get some rubbing of the wheelwell liner. At some point, you will probably wear through certain areas. You can avoid some of these areas by reshaping them out of the way with a heat gun. You might also need to roll the fender lip and the two tabs that you will see in there.

Dips and turns will also be hit and miss. Remember though that some of these problems are 20s related and not specific to these specs. Also, stay with 245s as 255s will definitely get you into trouble. If you want to get rid of the "20s" problems and are OK with thinner sidewalls (and a little worse ride quality), you can go to 245/30s.
