I don't think you could make them work with spacers, I have 20" DD wheels and I could,nt upgrade to brembos b/c the wheels would'nt clear. Get you some good padS and some drilled and or slotted rotors.

Totally agree. Oh, don't forget some stainless steel lines.

I need to get some stainless lines I just got drilled rotors from vic over at brake designs and some akebono pads. Hopefully I'll get them installed this weekend.

This is the link for backspace, width in front is 8.5. Do you think it will work?

No.

I believe you need at least a 9.5 inch wheel unless you use some ungodly huge spacer, but even then it would be unsafe...Although I do want to say I saw someone with fanblades (8.5) tuck a gt500 setup inside but I cannot recall at the moment so don't quote me on it.

I wonder if anyone has ever ran 20x10 on all four wheels before? I think a member here actually ran 18x10 all around but don't quote me on that either haha
