Got my HRE 20's on today finally






I was very surprised how low the car looked stock. I have a lowering module but not sure if I need to put it on now....
I went with the Nitto Invos all the way around. I did 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear. So far the ride is great. I do get a little rub when I hit a big dip. I didn't see any rub on the tires though.
I will definitely clean her up and get some better pics...

Nice wheels looks really good. If Im were you with a ELM I would run those tires out and then change to 30 front and 25 rear side wall and slam it , it looks really good like that.

Tires are to big and the black centers kill the look. A brushed face and polished lip would make your car look amazing, Otherwise very nice looking E.

wheels look great

need to lower the car alittle but with those tires you will rub.

Set your elm no lower than 5 f and 7 in the back if you have a renntech elm
