Default What you guys think about these wheels?

I have blk on blk is350 and I like these wheels although I don't think they will fit

The bolt pattern fits but in a staggered fitment of 20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 rear the rep. that sells them told me the fronts were 38mm and the rear 30mm offsets.

What you guys think? go non staggerd 20x8.5 all around with 38 offset?

Thanks

Hmm...those look pretty good, the chrome lip especially. However, I must admit that I have trouble buying into todays trends. I prefer the brushed alloy or classic chrome look.

Are those stern ST-2?
Yes they will fit if you go non staggerd 20x8.5 all around with 38 offset. The recommend tires are 235/35/20.
To me the setup is okie if you have AWD. But since you have RWD, I wouldn't want to lose the stagger set up on the car. Actually those are the 1st wheel I was looking at when i wanted to purchase rims for my car.
One more thing, if those are Stern ST-2. The front wheel won't clear the big break so it won't fit on the front. The local wheel shop I went to did put those on my car and they won't claer the BBK.

Any way just tell the Shop to mount them on before you decide to buy them.

No idea, but If I were to get them, i would need to get them 8.5 all round because they don't make a good offset for staggered fitment. Should I still get them? 20x8.5 all around?
