Check my new wheels out!!!
Got me a new set of shoes! 245/35/20 falken 452's all around, there a little stretched in the back but not VIP stretched by ne means. the rims are Stern ST-II's. 20x8.5 up front with 20x9.5 in the rear. Nice lips on the front and the back. 2.75" in the front and 3.50" in the back. Its a very smooth set up, only a little work with the heat gun in the fenders. Front offset is 32 and the rear is 35. They are flush with the fenders. Im very excited about them so i have to show them off. I got them cheap off os Need4SpeedMotors.com. Only cost me $1749 with lugnuts and a set of spacers i didn't use. Tell me what you guys think, and yes i know it needs to be lowered, i want coilovers and i only allow my self so much in one month. they will be coming though. Tell me what you think

They look nice but in the first pic, your rear rim looks like it stands out past the fender. I run Giovanna dubs on mine... 235/30/20x8.5 front and 275/30/20x10 rear with no rubbing and no mods done to the fenders. If you drop, you'll probably rub.
A few Q's... do you have TPMS and what is your car? AWD or 350? Why didn't you get staggered rims?

No, i have the pipe bomb in the trunk witht he tire pressure sensors in it. my car is a IS350 AWD. And the rims are staggered 20x8.5 in the front and 20x9.5 in the rear hense the bigger lip in the rear. I almost bought the rims you have on ur car. I like them a lot, its cool how you can have the cap on or off. I had the Gianelle Mass 8's on my Gs400 and had the black cap painted to match my Green Gs400. it was pretty cool.

i had the exact same rims with eibach prokit, but black with chrome lips..... the only time it rubbed was when i hit a dip in the road, turning radius was not effected. But mine were 38mm all around. You should be ok. BTW, i love that green, i wish they offered that out here... i have never seen one in person.

I must agree with llamaboiz, that green is sexy.. Especially your rims, and by the way.. Did you check if your offset is good?? because your running staggered and you on a awd.. 245 is , eh.. Maybe 235?? would be better.. but I suggest you asking one of the other members for advice on your wheel setup...
Nice rims tho, congrats. Why do you choose the Falken tires? I only read bad things about them at least in the german mags
