the wheels look really nice on the car, but i would have to agree, sticking out of the wheel well just doesn't look good.

like i said, i think they are beautiful wheels, but the combination of it sticking out and the wheel gap just makes it look kinda odd (no hate)

did you purposely pick those offsets?

those are 255s? what'd you put em on, a 10.5" wheel? you do know stretching sidewalls out like that causes abnormal wear right? it makes the tread surface cup and ride on the inner and outer edges instead of the entire surface...as long as you know what you're in for, knock yourself out

btw, the wheels themselves are very nice...and i hate chrome

That car would not pass inspection in PA because the rear wheels stick out past the body/fenders........That is a no-no..But everything is a no-no in PA...We can't even have sex with 15 year old girls

I like the wheels, but I would never ride in your car, fearing that the rear tires will rip right off. Please post your offset and rim width for the rear so that others know not to make the same mistake, or so they will at least properly calculate a tire size.

I like the rims, I think they add a lot to the car, but I agree with everyone else about the rear rims sticking out a little too much. Other than that, its a really nice clean car. It too me a little time to get used to the new exterior but I like it a lot now. No offense, but I think they cheaped out on the interior a little bitt. I think they could have made it better.

The other thing that your going to run into is your going to find that you cant rotate your tires because the deep dish is bigger in the back than the front, so the tires arent going to wear evenly

I think they look good from the side view, It would of course look a bit better if it was 8.5" in the rear also, but it's a unique look, sweet rims, they look great on the black. but the stretched tire in the back concerns me

well the rims are 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the back the tire is a 255 that what only fit without rubbering...and to tell you the truth i dont see were the abnormal wear can happen cause the tire rotate find just like the 235...the reason i went to this setup to see i could pull it off...alot ppl say it look good and alot have said it weird but it look good...i kinda didnt think about i cant rotate my tires anymore lol but oh well....i will later get the 2 rims 20x8.5 after this grows out of me or i get tired paying for tires more than i would with 235....

A 255 series tire on a 10" rim?!?! I'm surprised they actually mounted a tire that size on that big of a rim...A 255/30/20 sized tire is rated for 8.5-9.5" rims...

It's not that they rotate the same that will cause abnormal wear, it's that they are stretched out which will cause the tire to have less contact with the road than it should, which will both wear poorly as well as possibly be dangerous in wet and slippery conditions...The sidewall should be straight up and down when a proper tire is mounted on a rim...Yours angle inwards, which means if you take a corner hard you'll be riding on the sidewall, and there's no tread on the sidewall...
