You have a very clean look and the fact the wheels are flush makes them look huge!! nice...

Axis Wheels just released their EXE line that's very similar...

Great looking wheel. But I'm going to say it looks like too much wheel vs the amount of rubber - 19's would be more my taste.

does the drop on the 20's cause any rubbing (people sitting in rear or turning?) also any other mods to make them fit (rolling fenders..etc?)

I didn't like those wheels at first, but the more I look at them, the more I like!

Depends on the offset of the wheels.. some guys get rubbibg, some don't... Budd28 kept his black fender trimmings and it was fine... I had to remove mine and cut the fenders, but no rubbing.... Every once and again, on a FULL turn and wither the vehicle is driving REALLLY fast or on a very raked road, the front does rub on the inner plastic fender liners...

The key is also proper tire sizing, if the right brand and sizing are combined, there is no issue of rubbing.

Actually, i get only rubbing on the plastic slightly, and im definitely not concerned with that. Loaded with 4 people and driving around town, i've yet to encounter any conditions that would give me worry. I'm running slightly larger rubber in the front because of the road conditions (245/35's). it doessss bottom out though and rub plastic when i'm flying on I35 through the dips.

my truck is an example of what not to do with rubbing, ive got chunks taken out of the outer lugs on those tires and ive already cut 2 inches of sheetmetal back.
