damn mike.. so you went from fat tire stepped lip 19s to a set of 20x9.5s with staggered offsets to some aggressive lexions with fender mods... nice the progress. btw.. are you running a 245/30 on the front? I had a 20x8.5+17 and there was no way a 245/35 would fit under the fender w/o shredding tire

[QUOTE=mikemareen;4202823]dukie man what kind of fit do you want ? u wan an aggressive fit that will require fender and quarter mods? or do u want hassle free fit ? what do u want ? and 275 35 20 with ANY SIZE wheel will be too big of a tire. Did u mean to say 275 30 20 ?

Here's a pic of my current wheels. IMO they are beautiful and fitment is so strong and lovely.

Awesome ride you have there Mike. Looks really sweet. I just want a hassle free fit. I don't want to get into rolling the fenders, shaving bolts, etc. Yes I meant 275/30/20 not 35. Just trying to figure out everything so I can order them soon.

Im running 225 35 20 at the front, ya no way 245 will make it. I'm thinking about getting a narrower 225 35 20 (like dunlop or nankangs which are known to be narrower) so I can go a bit lower at front.

From looking at the rear fender lip and tire... don't they rub at all? You must have very little suspension travel.
