Thanks
Got them from the dealership where I work. Wheels are 20" x 9.5 front and rear. Tires are 255/35/20 Front, 275/35/20 Rear, Nitto 555 tires, Eibach Pro Kit springs. No rubbing issues front or rear. Stop-Tech Roush red 14" front brake kit goes on tomorrow and then its done and for sale!

Would you happen to know what the offset is on those rims?

I don't get it man, we've been told for 2 years that you need to run a +45 and these are a +24 and they look perfect? I mean dead on perfect! WTF? Does it have to do with the backspace? Can anyone explain this to me, I'm ready to pull the trigger on these bad boys...

It has to do with the width. Larger offset is needed for wider rims. Meaning you need to push the face of the wheel out while keeping the width under the wheelwell. 24mm is cutting it REAL close with a 20x9. You may get away with 255/35/20 on the front but I've heard horror stories with this setup to. It also depends on the tire choice though because some have a larger width than others that are the same size. You definitely can't go bigger than 255/35/20 on the front with these wheels. But **** it does look good, huh?

I personally may go with this setup and get 255's up front and 275's in the rear like cgoeschel did. It just looks soooooooo good!!!!!!!!!! And the price is right too! Good Luck!
