I want them in 20's. They only come in 20/8.5, you think they'll look good or bad. I can get them (NEW) for less then for $1900 - 4 wheels and 4 tires(TOYO) put on my car with tax, balance and everything).

well i don't know the quality of the wheel so i can't comment on that. but personally i would highly prefer to have staggered wheel setup, it looks so much better and also better for handling

If you get those wheels you will definately have to lower it, and quickly. I would lower the car and then get the wheels. If money is no object you can pick up some nice coilovers for not a lot of money, like teins. Or if it is a tighter budget you can do some lowering springs. But your best bet is coilovers, that way YOU can determine the height of your car. Good luck

Please tell me why do i have to lower my car?
Is it something going to happen to my car if I leave it stock and put these 20/8.5 front and rear wheels on?
Please educate me little bit.!!!

I miss the old days of ClubLexus when knowledgeable members would just outright tell DJKLEX that those rims are low quality, fake 3 piece rims, that they'd bend easily, and that he should really just find a set of used, quality rims in our Classifieds for around the same price point.

My advice, DJKLEX, do a search in the Wheels and Tires section. Look up words like "quality," "forged vs. cast," "knockoff (or knock off)," "bent rim," "peeling chrome," etc. You'll find that you do get what you pay for.

My good deed for the day.

it's all about look. the wheels (with the right offset) will fit no problem, but having big wheels on the car without lowering, the car will look very much out of proportion and it won't look nice at all

Its all about the wheel gap. If you have a space between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender that you can fit your fist in, it just wont look right. You dont HAVE to lower it but it will look so much better if you do, even if you just do a mild spring kit or something like that
