To all that doubted...It drives perfect. The wheels are on 5x112 on a 2003 Lexus GS 300 Sportdesign

The 255/35-20 actually isn't that stretched on a 20x9.5. I had the Yokohama AVS Sports on mine and it looked good. My present Falken FK-451s do look a little stretched, but that's typical of that model tire.

Looks pretty good. I'd throw some spacers on the rear to make them a bit more aggressive.

For the record, I am totally against running the wrong bolt pattern wheel on any car. It places stress on the wheel studs that can lead to fatigue and eventual failure. But what do I know... I've only been doing this for a decade. It's your car... your life.

Sorry this is kinda late, but have you figured out the hub ring issue yet? If it's not the 73mm like Rominl said, than it should be a 66.5 (benz cb)... Lowenhart sometimes make the wheels vehicle specific hub-centric rather than using rings. So then you would need a 60.1mm-66.5mm ring. If you already resolved this, sorry for jabbering...
