What do you guys think of these rims on an Umbria M45? Thinking of going with 20 x8.5 Front and 20x10 rear. I've seen them on the G35 Coupes but nothing on the M's......

that's a very nice looking wheel but they look nicer on smaller cars. I think because the M is so big that they need to have a nice big lip in the rear.

hey if you like it go for it.

man that audi looks nice! Do you know what size rims are on it? Since those rims dont have a lip I would think that 20"s would look bigger and may suit the M. I almost bought some of these in piano black a few months back, i like them but not sure how it would look on our car.

Here are a bunch of pics with different angles. First couple pics are at H tech height 27", I don't know what the camber is at this height but I was at 26" (espiler) when it was set to -3.5 using oem adjustments.

These are eibach height at 26.5"

Different angles when taking the pictures plays a role on how it looks but for the most part it tucks in to me IMO.
I hope this helps and just in case here's a picture of the rim tucking all the way when below 24" :bigthumb:

Thanks!.. great reference pix. I'll probably go the neg camber route first and see if that works out before i replace the rear springs. My wheels sat flush like yours with the Eibachs when i had 3 people in the back.

no i have the H techs, but if the camber adjustment doesn't work out to my liking then i may swap out the rear springs to Eibachs.

Not enough rim too much empty space. I suppose if you have a brembo brake system that you would like to admire, these would work fine. The wheels on the audi are excellent and will look great on the M. They are a good balance between spokes and open view of the wheel well.

I think I just sold myself a set.

For an Altima or a Honda perhaps.

You guys realize that if you post a good side shot of your car and a good side shot view of the rims you want, I can photoshop them for you right?

I believe I made a thread about doing this for people a while ago. Don't get crazy and have 30 sets of rims to shop, but you get the idea.
