Default My new shoes

Sorry for the crap pics, but just thought I'd contribute to our forum with something! Wheels are Work Seekers 20x8.5 +40f/20x9.5 +40r with 5mm spacers to clear the rear calipers. Going to add some 5mm spacers to the front too. Tire sizes are General Exclaim 235/35/20f and 265/30/20r. Enjoy!

A little too shiny for me.....gunmetal centers would have looked better IMO. Still looks good though.

The wheels look like there is a lot going on, but it doesn't look bad.

Ichiba spacers, the generals are great tires. I do quite a bit of interstate driving so I wanted a tire that will last. I've used exclaims on 4 different cars now and will continue to because of their value, adequate performance, and good treadlife. Thanks for the feedback guys, the centers are not chrome, similar the tge SBC finish alot if companies use, I agree gunmetal would look better but I got these for a steal so I'm not complaining!

I don't know anyone who would agree with this unless low price is your primary concern. I'd run PS2 AS before I'd run the Generals. I've driven them on rentals and their inability to grip in the rain frightens me.
