What size tires and width rear rim are you running? It looks like it is still too high on the offset. If it is a 10" rim with a 285 or 295, BE CAREFUL. It doesn't rub under normal use, but the inside will rub the subframe and destroy the tires when it is under acceleration. If you are running 275s or less, then you should be fine.

What about the front? Are you running 1" bigger than OEM there too (like the rear)? Any problems with hitting the front suspension bolt?

No hitting at the front suspension bolt. I think they are 9's.

That looks awesome. That white 3-Series coupe in the background looks good too.

So you have 20x9 with 245/35 tires? I have 20x9 with 245/30. I'll have to look down there again. I have room but an extra 1/2" would make me nervous. I know some have shaved that bolt down but I don't want to do that either. It's good to know that it might be possible.

Goatspeed I thought you were selling your ride. I think Sonic is selling a set for $1,700 w/out tires. Good deal for a nice looking wheel.
