20's are fine if you are tucking rim, but yours was the complete opposite of that.

Looks better now but needs a drop.

Those wheels didnt look bad at all, imo. With some skinnier tires, and a static drop, ..it would look really nice!

thats exactly what i plan to do.. but i want to take my time and really search for the perfect tire sizes and suspension.

lol yea i know.. the paint was chipping off so i just sanded it down to the chrome. i liked it at first but then when i had the windows tint it stands out too much.. will get around to painting them back black eventually

it just needs to settle , after you drive it a couple of time the suspension should settle.
