Default First time wheel upgrade help (Vossen VVS083)

So I am looking to upgrade my wheels to some Vossen VVS083 in the black. Anyone have any idea how some 20's will look without lowering the car? Will AWD be a factor in getting the new rims?

Any experience with the TPMS sensors and these wheels? Will they fit?

Sorry for the noob questions but you got to start somewhere.

Your car will look VERY high at stock height and being AWD.

Your TMPS sensors will fit

Hey like he said i think you would need to lower it some. Especially since the AWD's are so high as it is. I have the Vossen 083's in 19's to give you an idea. There's alot of pics on Vossens site also you should check out.

Thanks for the picture, I really wanted to see it before it was lowered but I was having a hard time. I guess most people like to lower the car

Ok so looking at the picture it looks like I might want to go down 1" ? Seems like a compromise, what do you guys think?

its personally up to you.

lowering has its pro and cons, but IMO it definitely looks better lowered.
