That's probably because your 20's don't have that curved face like his Shallens do...that's a good 1/2" to 1" extra brake clearance.

Ahh yea I remember those 2 cars on VSC. I wanted the Shallen AX's because of yours haha, but I found the LX's for a decent price so I got them instead. I wish VSC was up again already, theres a lotta info on there I needed but theyre still updating

No you don't want it to look like that, those shallen ax's stick out way too much. It's hopelessly too poked.

Your's will fit much better.
