Default Test fitted new wheels today (pics)

Test fitted the wheels again with a 10mm spacer on the front, clears the calipers now and tucks nicely with natural camber. With the spacer the front wheels are 20x9 with 28 offset, rears have no spacers and they are 20x10.5 with 31 offset. Current tires are 245 front 285 rear but those will be swapped out. I could probably get away with the 245 front with the front rolled a bit but think I will switch to a 225 and may not even need to roll the fronts. The rear 285s obviously sit on the fenders, I think with a 255 there will be no issues at all, probably some minor cutting, with a good amount of shaving maybe even a 275 would work? Wheels still need to be refinished (centers) and need to install longer studs for the front due to the 10mm spacer.

It does look good, and the stance is spot-on, but that's really killing the ride quality...

Stance looks killer on there. Let us know if you have to do any fender work.

This on coil-overs or air?

I am not going to ride on L, I am going to ride around on 9 which I already did with the stock wheels. The car is on stock air.

Thanks for the compliments
