Lightbulb Advice on Tires & Wheels offset etc.. on 20"

i am thinking about getting some 20" for my 00, First of all i like to ask if its good to get 20" and how will abc pump act etc..

I rarely drive my cl in abc mode, and i do about 30 miles a day total commute.

next what here is what i am thinking about getting. 20" Staggered Axis Milano

Front 20x8.5" (35mm offset - 66.5mm Center Bore) and rear 20x9.5" (25mm offset - 73mm Center bore) - Lug Pattern: 5x112

The front wheel will be very aggressive. The rears will sit way outside the fender line. Maybe by half an inch or more. Tire sizing is correct though. Offsets in the high 30's/low 40's would be best.

Staggered always looks nicer on the big coupe.

or
20x8.5 all the way around??

Do the Milanos and don't think twicw about it. I have ran axis mods before 20x10 and 20x9 .. with 275/30/20 and 245/35/19 and Go with the toyo t1-r because it has a nice rounded sidewall and dont run your abc.. run your suspension in low position and consider lowering it.. Call my buddy Devin tomorrow at wheelwarehouse.com .. 714-772-1281 x5104 he is tight with axis guys. I know he can get those and Jaz and Monet makes the same wheel... Call him and mention Bryan with the silver S500.. he will give you a ripping deal

i am getting a smoking deal locally.. the prob is that the milanos are not avilable in stag fitment. they only have 20x8.5's all the way around.. i like the milanos more but the dont have stag fitment...

do u think 20x8.5 will look stupid all the way around.. my guy locally called axis and they said the dont have 20x9.5 in milanos because they are getting discountinued hence i am getting a smoking deal...


so my question again would be should i do/ or will it look stupid if i do 20x8.5 all around??

thx

20x9.5 all around or 20x10 and 20x9. What about the JAZ wheel it is a 20x9.5 ? I know the owner of JAZ wheels
