Well i ditched the 20's and went with a set of 19's , They are AXIS Milano+ 19x8.5f and 19x9.5r. I still have to put my Megan Racing coilovers on next week.

man even on those rims at stock height wouldn't be sitting as high as your car does, something doesn't look right.

but i suppose the new coils should fix that problem regardless.

should of waited to put the rims on untill the coils went on. I agree it will look AWSOME when its dropped, it looks a little funky now though.

theres no "problem" with the height, it all stock. I had 20's on it and it looked like a 4x4! LOL..... the 19's raised it quite a bit, you have to remember it had 16" rims stock so , its gonna raise the body up regardless. id pop the coilovers on this week and get some pics up.

Just because it had 16" wheels stock doesn't mean 19's or even 20's will raise the body. If done CORRECTLY with the right size tires the body height should remain the same.

I'm just saying, from the pics it looks too high. I had 17s on before I lowered it and I didn't even have that much wheel gap.

I've seen pics of SCs on 19s at stock height and some of them seem to have very little wheel gap, what you have there just seems excessive.
