I thought the offsets were really ultra conservative with the Lumerai.
What offsets are yours?

Better pics please? I am interested in these wheels. I need a good look.

20x9+15 225/30& 20x10.5 +25 255/30 or 245/30 will be aggressive on this car, this will require fender mods

The rears are hard to just roll cause of the double lip it's best to shave if you don t want to dimple the fender and have to do body work. The fronts are easier to roll however rolling can still lead to paint damage if not done properly. I am shaved all the way around. Thus does however weaken the integrity of the fender. I have not had any issues myself with this method and have been shaved for over a 1 1/2 year. Just be sure you paint the raw metal and I also sprayed 3m rubberized undercoating spray.

i agree. shaving is the way to go on these cars. i sadly went the other way the first go around and it was a nightmare. like lka said the most important part after shaving is to touch up the raw edges to prevent future paint cracking/peeling.
