Ok... so I need an opinion on these rims. McHeddi... possible photoshop please?

My brother saw these on ebay the other day and I think they're pretty nice.

Size 20 x 7.5 inch Bolt Pattern 5 x 114.3 Offset (ET) 38 mm

How would the 7.5 affect it? I think Rob and LBC both have 8.5. What about the offset? What is everyone else running? I knew it's prob been posted a bunch of times... but seriously, our search function sucks. It would take me hours.

I'm really thinking of getting these.

7.5 might be to narrow for the fun factor but other wise it will fit and it will work

Thanks so much Mcheddadi.

What do you mean too narrow for the fun factor? Handling will suck?

[Loop]

I agree with mcheddadi, go wider.

youd be limiting the width of tire you'd want to run ... ie: only 225 VS 245 wide tires. a wider tire will better for grip and cornering over a narrower tire.

if you run anything over stock, im sure you will be happy but with trying to run a wider tire on a narrower rim, you will get a bulgie look

Ok. the contact patch is smaller, therefore they cant hold you down as much as a bigger contact area will... wider tire, wider contact. I know some people who have the wrong tire for their wheels, for that "bulge" look... idk if you are looking for that....

When we (aftermarket wheel owners) post on "speeding" threads that its stupid to do it on stockers, its not because of the 17", but because of the width (and quality) of the tire.

As far as offset is concerned, your on the money it will fit with eibachs no problems no rubs!

On the wheel style, i think its pretty interesting and unique, but you know this more than i do.. it sucks to get something your not pleased with, so think over what you are looking for out of the aftermarket wheels... performance, or just looks, then re-asses the situation.

I've never seen that 'bulge' look... so I don't know. Is one inch really that big of a difference?

I really like the style but I want BOTH performance and looks from this. Looks like this isn't the rim for me, I contacted the seller and they only have it available in 7.5 inch.

What's your offset LBC?

What's your offset LBC?

Its when the sidewall sticks buldges out around the rim, rather that forming flat around it. Indicative of a tire that is to big for the rim. Pretty cheesy looking really

[BlackNWhite]

So... it kinds looks like you have flat tires? But you don't?

[LongBeachCoupe]

to some degree yes...

rob and i are on 38 offset.
