Pardon the messy garage, and the in-garage pics. It was snowing and crappy out, so I didn't want to back her out onto the driveway. Also, in the winter, I'm just not in the mood to clean in amidst the cold, and all the salt/mud/crud the daily driver cars bring in. I hate winter. Overall, I love the setup I chose. Am very happy. Wish I could drive her instead of waiting 4 more months. It makes the stock brembos look not that appealing… 
Let's start with the finished product 
Series of close up of rears, to show stance and fit… love it. Now the fronts… including stance, and how they clear the brembos Then I took a shot with the flash… I liked the dark theme…

Here's a fair question to those of you out there: If you are running 20" tires, and 305 wide, and are lowered, do you encounter any rubbing issues at all? What is your rear offset?
I will confirm again with my vendor today... I know I asked that before but now you guys are making me double check. Lol

I had a Shelby with 20x11 with 315/35 drag radials and lowered and no rubbing. The offset was 58 or 59 for the Steeda Spyders I had on that car.

This is a picture of the Brembro 14" front rotors
These are the Baer 14" rear rotors (imagine them smooth)

Thank you. That looks sweet. Yes I confirmed with my vendor that they've been selling this setup for years... They verify what type of springs the customer has before recommending a rim/tire. So I should have no rubbing. The stock bump stop (along with k springs) should prevent any rubbing whatsoever. Folks that do have some rubbing with 20s and 305s must have either springs that are too radical a drop, the wrong offset, or a combination of both.

Thought I'd let you know that Stage 3 Motorsports can get the 14" Baer rear rotors in "smooth" (no dimples, no slots) they just don't have them on there website. The cost is the same and they would not be an exact match to the front rotors since there two piece, but the only real visible difference is the two piece have the bolts or what ever you want to call them.

Thanks!
Thanks, I actually decided to venture out from the normal on those and bought a cheap set knowing I could send them back.... 
I bought them from CXRacing.
In all honesty, they seem very well built and ride like stock when adjusted. I will note that I hardly drive my car as is, but when I do.... I'm not easy on it at all. I have probably under a 1,000 miles on everything I have put on, but other than a few adjustments in ride height I have had absolutely no problems from them.
They're basically a BCRacing coil over copy from everything I see(shocks included). Granted, when I installed these, I replaced just about everything underneath at the same time so.... It could be a number of things that helped, but needless to say they work for everything I need.
I included the few pictures I took when I received them.

Car looks great and I bet she handles really well.

Yeah, I did a lot of forum searching on those and then saw a few mention of these with reviews from some of the forums and figured I would just give them a shot. Car handles great, I actually enjoy driving it more now. A lot more predictable and when traction is in question the car just glides forward. Doesn't really kick out or anything on me.

Thanks!
Thanks! Offset for the rear is +45 on a 20/10.5 wheel. I personally would like to have a +50 or +55. These sit extremely flush. With a square tire a +42 20/10.5 might work. I wish I had test fitted the wheels before mounting the tire to see exactly how flushed these are. Offset will look different per width of rim though.
What are you looking to go with?
