They would work great for someone who drives with 1 or even 2 passengers, without rubbing or modification. I am going to look into maybe milling 0.125" off the back wheel to see if that helps. I'll see what the machinist says.
I love the stance of the car lowered with the 20's, just need to be able to tuck those mothers if need be!
I've decided you're officially not allowed to sell those wheels. They look amazing on your car. Just modify until they work right, that's what I gotta do. Get your rear windows tinted and tell me if you change your mind.

Its funny you say that because I have my windows tinted (some kinda light chrome tint), anyways its not dark enough to block the sun from my sons face when he rides back there. I take the car to the local tint place and ask how much they charge to take the old tint off the back 3 windows and put 5% on them. He said it wouldn't look right because of the chrome tint on the front windows. He suggested just putting 5% on the back of the old tint, so that's what we did. They are dark as hell know and still have the chrome look. He even warrantied the job. Best of both worlds.

Tyler,
When I had the Monroe Sensatrac shocks on my car I installed spring spacers to keep the car from dipping and causing the wheels to scrap on the inside of the fender well. I only had them in the back and they worked well. You might want to consider getting some of those to keep your car from dipping too much. I took mine out when I installed the OEM sport shocks.
What I did was measure the distance between the opening in the springs with the car level. Then I ordered a set of these spacers you see pictured below from my alignment guy. We discussed that we didn't want to raise the car so we got a spacer that matched to my measurements. You install these about mid-point in the spring on opposite sides. We did this on the rear springs only. The spacers come in different thicknesses. This could help you with your rubbing problem.
I don't know where he ordered these at but I'm sure you can Google them.

Don't be sad for me. I'll have a suprise for you guys in a little while.
Justin, I cleaned them for you. I figured you would want to put them on them on the second they got delivered.

Thanks again to Tyler(01lssport)
You got them early, I thought they were suppose to be there on Friday.
Was the packing good enough?
Yeah packaging was fine...
Heres the headache I had today.....
I went to a local tire place to have them swap my wheels for me..it was supposed to be quick and easy for $20.00....O.k. it was $20.00 but easy it was not. Apparently last time my dealer rotated my tires they cross threaded not one but three nuts....so long story short I had to get three studs replaced, no biggy but I am pissed at the dealer, and I have no way of proving they were the last ppl to mess with my wheels. I am waiting to get my car back right now main what a stupid aste of my time...Love the wheels though!!!
Oh yeah the stupid manager at the tire place tried to lecture me on the fact that our cars aren't suppost to have 20's. I just played it off and let him rant for a minute then told him they fit, they don't rub, my car handles fine, and by the way it looks great!!
