Finally put on the new shoes (DONZ!!!)
After the nightmare of cutting the inner wheel wells of the quarter panels, test fitting the rims, taking a grinder to the rear quarters, and swaping to a 30 series tier in the back... I finally have the 20s installed. Please Enjoy the photos.
Specs of the setup:
20 x 8.5 (f) 20 x 10 (r)
225/35 tire up front 255/30 in the rear
24 offset
cut springs
Special thanks to the guys at D2!
