Finally... after alot of thought I came accross a set of rims that caught my attention... not a doubt on my mind... these are it... since I've got fast bags on my mark 8 I plan to lay it out every time I park and make the wheels tuck... here are some pics of different cars that I like because of their 20's... there is one that looks like it is photo-shopped but I'm not sure if it is or not... I think it looks bad-a$$ tucking 20's layed out... here are also the pics of the wheel that I'm getting with in a month... let me know what you think...
I've decided on rims!!

Very Cool... I love em... I was a bit leary of puttin 20's on the Mark. I think the ride stiffens quite a bit, so I went with the 17x9 Cobra R, but let us know how it goes with the 20's and post some pics.

That first one is a photoshop, I know because I did it when I was in the market...Your front end will not go that far down with the stock struts up front.
It looks like the wheels you have chosen have the correct offset (42mm), just be sure not to go too wide with your rear tires or they'll rub. I am using a 3/16" spacer up front and 245/40/20s all around. It's a little bigger tire than what is recommended, but the ride is a better as well. Check my Garage for pics.

Very nice!!!!... hey man... if there is a look that i was going for with my car... I just found it when I saw your car... I'm not saying that I'm going to copy what you are doing or anything... but I've always been a fan of nice cars tucking 20's... someday soon my car will be something to look at as well... thanks for the inspiration...

The Black car is mine. Its actually photoshopped also. I had them make the wheels bigger (20) than what they really are: 18" Pacer Villian Wheels. The wheels are available in 20", but not in our bolt pattern, if they were, I would have them. Nice choice tho.
How wide will fit in the front? im thinking 245/35/20's. Kuhmo makes a 255/35/20 thats really cheap in the 255/35/20. We put that on all the passinger cars we install 20's on. Can you fit 275/30/20's out back and still have it fit when its slammed?

I tried 275/35/20s on an 8.5" wheel with 43mm offset and the tire was about 1/2" from tucking, maybe a little less. You'll need more offset if you want to tuck 275s. The good thing is that there's lots of room towards the inside of the car.
255's up front is really pushing it. I'd actually try to go skinier than 245 if possible.

I think when you go past 17", it just get plain ridiculous.

WOW, Kale. Everytime I see those wheels I get sick to my stomach for selling them.
Heres a pic of how low it will go with stock struts aired completely out.
