I am thinking that 20 inches is too big. maybe i am wrong.

With the right tire and tire size you shouldn't rub with 20's.

The dealers here in FL on their "special cars" they will mount 20" wheels like vossens staggered.

If you buy a high quality aftermarket wheel it should with stand the abuse as an OEM wheel.

No rubbing issues with our recommended setup. 20x9 ET38 & 20x10.5 ET45 with 245/35/20 & 275/30/20 sits perfect.

Thanks for great videos.
Just called one of authorized dealer for 20s.
They offered me 2300 with shipping and handle. is it right price for these wheels?
Don't want to buy used one.
My car is AWD so better not go with staggered set right? or don't matter?
Thank again!

I live in texas and would ideally put 20s on my gs but BBoss doesnt have the wheels i like in 20's



i would buy the original brand Cosmic Venerdi as they have these in 20s but its damn near impossible to find em anywhere outside japan

FWIW, I don't have Vossen wheels nor am I running $10k set of wheels on my GS to be clear. My common sense tells me: if your wheels look the same, and you have a $400 price difference, then i would say get the vossens because you are getting the finish warranty.

In 5 year's time you will either have no issues or the warranty will pay for itself with just one wheel having trouble. I don't know the finish quality of stance wheels, but I would research that piece before deciding.

Well said, but I have seen a few setups that look perfectly fine like MRR HR2s.

I should have mentioned this before so I don't post wh#re, but i have staggered set up on AWD with no issues. As many have said in this forum, just maintain rolling diameter as close to identical as possible on both axles and you will be fine.

Funny thats the wheel I am running but in chrome

The rear hr2 is so much nicer then the fronts. Because the rears are concaved
