Just priced some Vossens

Called a local distro. He quoted me $2,799 for CV1's with 255/35/20 tires.

20x9 all around with a +32 offset... I'd have to adjust the speedo a bit.

Thoughts? Is that a decent price?

On a side note, I have no idea why I am torturing myself this way. I am not going to do this until A) My stock tires are bald or B) she's paid off, whichever comes first.

You can get cheaper, (not by much brand new) but not a bad price. Are you sure you want to go 20x9 all the way around? 10.5 in the rear looks great IMO. You may also consider 235 or 245 for the front tires.
Why waste your time adjusting speedo? The difference is minimal...

LOl that might take quiet awhile then, cuz the tires that come from the factory are pretty good and will last a long time, but depends how you drive your car. also im not sure how your payment is with the car, but im pretty sure youll wear your tires out before youre done paying off your car!

Give Lou @ Amplified a call, pretty sure he'll get you a better deal on them since I know he's an AD.

Well, I want 20x9 +32 all around so I can rotate them and get maximum treadlife out of my tires. It may be silly to some of you, but it's what I want to do.

I put a substantial amount down (about 40%) and I am taking some side money each month and paying it down as well. So I might just get her paid before the tires go.

As far as the speedo goes... what can I say? I'm friggin' OCD, man... it HAS to be right.

If I do this, I'll need to unload the 18 x 8.5 rear and 18 x 7.5 front stock wheels and tires.

Anyone interested PM me with an offer.

Sorry but 20x9 all around???? Go 20x10.5 all around! 9 is going to look bad there's no concave.
