How will 20's look with OEM suspension???

I am looking at some Vossen 084's 20's but curious how they will look without lowering the car?

Anyone have pics with 20's on factory suspension?

Thanks in advance!

Don't do it. Stock suspension does not look good even with stock wheels. At least get some Eibachs. Then it will be a lot better looking.

Not great. And the closer the wheel is to being flush to the fender, the more it will make the gap stand out.

You have to lower the car - no question about it. Get Eibach or Tanabe lowering springs for a modest drop without sacrificing ride or suspension.

Not sure if I'm posting this right, and yes the picture is s&%t, but they're 20's on stock suspension. And they rub over big bumps, so I won't be lowering it anytime soon.

Nobody has mentioned the S Techs. That's the option I'm going with.
