Yeah, i tried the black ones on, and it just didnt work.. question to all those who might know.. Up front i have a 20x9 with a 245/35/20.. If im turing and hit a bump, or go up a driveway, it rubs the fender.. Will a 245/30/20 work better, and can i even do that on a 20x9?

Thanks alot

Silver on black is the new black on black which was the the new silver on black. I am lost- must stop doing drugs.

So i cant just change the front tire to a 245/30/20 without changing the rear also? right now the rear is perfect.. You had no rubbing issues with that setup?

Me likey
Most people seem to prefer the R10's. I personally like the staggered spoke design of the R5's. And love the roof spoiler. Nice touch.

Very nice setup, I love the diamond finish. I would also agree that the car would look a bit better without the tint..but either way it looks amazing. How low did you bring her down?
