Eh, i wouldnt buy them if i was in the market for rims. I like rims that make the car look sporty, and those look more for show/appearance to me which i dont like.

For spring/summer/fall i have vct's with 265/45/20 hankook rubber, they are 20x9. Im dropped 2 inches, and its a perfect fit, i MAYBE could have gone 265/50/20 but i might have had a tiny bit of trimming to do on the inside fenderwell.

If your looking to get 20x8..5, and your not dropped, i would go with 255/50/20, which would be like my sidewall height almost, but since your alot higher then me id go maybe with 255/55/20 if they even make that size, if not 255/60/20 should fit, dont quote me on it though.

Depends on $$! what matters is do YOU like them? People will be hating if you throw bling rims on and others will be hating if you go the off road route. At the end of the day its your ride to enjoy. If your just looking for nice rims, don`t be shy to buy used. I picked up my set (see my pic below) for $900 with pretty much brand new falken tires. My tire width is 275 and I only get a rub at full lock turning left in reverse lol. I HIGHLY reccomend getting an alignment with the rims on as soon as you get them, dont just balance and throw them on. The rubber wont be cheap no matter what you get so don`t just look at the $ per rim on the websites.

I also dont reccomend chrome if you dont plan on cleaning it every two days and applying the proper polish regularly. I powerball the s*** out of mine and they still look new but I STILL got a nice chip on a rim last year. You want a rim with a deep dish though like the ones your looking at...in my opinion it looks wicked.

Dont go lower than 45 on profile. Seriously I feel every bump in my 45 series.

thanks for the info guys. I actually found them on CL still in the box for $500 all four... They go for $275 each brand new. When i got there they were a little pitted and i'd still have to get tires for 170 a piece....figured it wasn't worth it if it wasn't exactly what i wanted....guess i'll wait for the tax return to get the ones i really want.

Qxxx4 i agree with no chrome. I had chrome on my other truck and hated that i had to clean them every two days to keep them in good cond. I'm now looking to get something in a machined finish...I'll keep you guys updated on my progress
