I feel like i'm beating a dead horse. But I finally am ready to order my tires and wheels online I just want to make sure this setup is perfect.

These are the tires for the time being I think I am going to go with. They are cheap and have heard actually some really good feedback. http://lsdmotorsports.com/prod/902230501051.html Will these work? They are Achilles ATR Sport Tire 245/35ZR20 or these http://lsdmotorsports.com/prod/902230103072.html They are Falken FK452 Tire 245/40ZR20

These are the wheels I'm going with http://lsdmotorsports.com/prod/901117037015.html They are XXR 521 Wheel Flat Black 20x8.5 +32 5x4.5/5x120 or 114.3

Your help is greatly appreciated thanks.
PS I am going to be dropping it with eibach pro springs as well. I wanna make sure the clearance is ok. No Rubbing!

I just called wheelsnext.com and they told me that 32mm offset will not fit on my car. How true is this?

Very false.

Very, very, very false.

I'm running 9in wide +22

I believe Oilsink runs 9.5in wide +15 (with roll and pull)

Also, I don't like those wheels.

I'd say you would be fine with those wheel/tire sizes. You might have to roll your fenders, but I kinda doubt it just because the Eibachs don't drop the car that much.

Be sure to take pics! I'm planning on getting the same wheels for my car, but 18s.. so I'm really interested!

After all the talk I decided to go ahead and order those same wheels in 18x8.5" w/ 35+ offset with 245/45r18 tires. I wanted the 20's but I figured for everyday practical purposes with some long road trips I take. I think I would enjoy the ride of 18's. I'm still going to drop it with the Eiabch Pro Kit! Wish me luck. Pics will be posted next week!

Good luck man. They should fit fine with no issues. 521s look nice, I'm an XXR fan. Almost got those as my first set in same dimensions

Sweet! What color is your A/C? You definitely won't have any fitment problems with the 18s and Eibachs.
