I just pulled the trigger on these as well. I'm going to try and run a 305 square set up.

Looks amazing, and love the color combo. How does it ride with that drop and wheels? Any rubbing or anything. I'm thinking about running the same setup

the ride is perfect.I put 10mm spacer to make them flush with the fender and they dont rub with or without them.

they are concave but not to much.and on this pics I dont have the spacer.

From the looks of this pic I should have no problem running the same rim with a wider tires. My only concern is the strut clearance in the front. Did you notice or do you recall if you had much room to spare with out the spacers from the wheel to the strut?

Thanks to so much for the pictures and details, this is the stuff that prevents heart ache later for a lot of guys. Last thing, with the 10mm spacer did you have to change the studs?

I just check the space between the strut and the rims.With the spacer it's approximately an inch so if you remove 10mm for the spacer it's around 15-16mm or 5/8 inch.For the spacer I bouth them on ebay nothing special but this winter I'm planing to buy 4 adaptec (http://www.motorsport-tech.com/4DCGI/switchmodel) with hub centric.For the moment I have the stock wheel stud but to be safer I'm gone a buy a set of ARP because with the stock one I only have 6-7 turn with the wheel nut.

So I did some more measuring and the 305 is out. A 295 would work with your 10mm spacer giving you about 17 mm for side wall flex before it would contact the screw on the strut. Anyone know how much a side wall flexes under load? With my smaller spacer I only have 10 mm not sure if that's enough, I may need a slightly larger spacer.

Just wanted to say thanks again for this thread. Ended up finding some 20x10 AMR's for sale used and got them bolted up the other day. Still too rainy to get any good photos yet.



20x10 +48 with 285/30-20 on all 4

All clear but going to do some spacer testing to push them a little more flush myself along with lowering the car further. Any good recommendations for 1/8" - 1/4" hub-centric spacers for cheap?

Yes these are +48mm front and rear.I'm on eibach sportline.They fit perfect front and rear but for a better look I just put some 10mm spacer to make them flush with the fender.

Is this pic with the spacers on the car? I'm assuming it is.
