I have been working on installing some parts I have laying around. I made a wear plate to protect the wire harness so I can get the drop I am after. See below

Its hard to tell here but the front fenders are rolled and ready for my 20's. I'm glad theres not much to see here, Otherwise the fenders would look like $h1t. LOL

I wanna see 20s..because I would never get 20s, but lately seems like lots of 20s for sale--good deal.

But everyone says, SC without kit and 20s look horrid. I am the anti kit person, so wondering. Appreciate the help.

I should have pics up by this weekend. I hope everyone is wrong! I just spent a wad a cash on these to find out. I think the secret is in going low enough to make it work. I will post pics here as soon as I have them installed.

Scott,

Since you are the 20inch expert (man that sounds like a nasty **** movie)

What are your thoughts on this?

20x9 +30 with 255/35/20 and the rear is 20x10.5 +29 with 285/30/20.
What do you think of this setup?

Well, The fronts will be really tight and those tires are tall and wide with a more aggressive offset. The front tires you referenced are 1.3" taller than your stock, that combo'd with lowered and our cars limiting front wheel well is not good. Look for 245/30/20's up front. Those are .1 taller (almost the same height). That’s what I got for my 20x9 +36 fronts. ( I will have real info tonight on the fronts)

On the rears the tires you spaced are 1” taller than stock. You can probably get away with the extra height but that width and offset bothers me. My rears are 20x10 +35 and the wheel sets flush with the outmost fender lip. You would most likely need to pull the fenders and run negative camber to pull it off. I currently have a set of 255/35/20 (same as your proposed fronts) tires on the rears and they look huge. I would like to get a set of 285/25/20’s which are .1 shorter than stock but $$$$ is slowing me down.

By this weekend I will have Facts and pictures to back it all up. So many people have said “They will be a easy Fit” I’m not seeing that, while others say “they wont fit” I’m not buying into that either. Watch for a follow up this Saturday or Sunday, no more maybes, might, should, probably, won't, Just the facts, soon.

It's because of people like Scott that we are able to take our vehicles to the next level. A little bit of risk won't hurt anyone
BTW: I think 285/25's would be hot!
