20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in rear. 245/35/20 in front and 275/30/20 in rear.

i forgot the paper with the offset numbers at my work today. did this over the phone with some company in california.

i haven't seen too many of these wheels on cars, so I'm kinda concerned, well at least photos i haven't seen!!!

I like the wheels. I have been looking at Niche's Targa and Essen models.

The 275/30/20 is a tall tire - 1.5" bigger in diameter than stock tires. Are you sure they will fit?

Are you planning to lower the car?

Felix- I ended up getting a set of vossens cv7. The guy tried to put a 275 rear tire on it and I would have had rubbing issues. So I got vossens with an255 rear

I cant help but notice that these niche wheels look alot like Vossen CV5 or CV4 wheels....does this company copy other wheel company designs like they did with the CVT copy?

These are split 7 spoke.. Vossen does not have a split 7.. so this doesn't qualify to be a copy.. But Niche did copy the CVT design.
