put wheels on my IP today - few pictures

I was going to wait, but I couldn't help it. And F the rain.

20" DCR "Laguna Seca" wheels
20x8.5 front
20x10 rear
I believe the offsets are +30 on both

Falken fk452 tires
245/35/20 front
275/30/20 rear
Wish I should of gone with a 285 in the rear, but that may change after it's dropped and I see how they fit then

Crappy pictures, but better than nothing..

the rear caliper is a little closer, but there's enough room

lol it's hard to not go ahead and buy springs. i'm trying to wait for coilovers

i was never much for 10 spoke wheels.. i came from a mustang.. was set on putting 5-spoke wheels on the G, but i saw these and got a sponsorship deal through DCR, so i went ahead with them. glad i did, i like the way they look

I just came from a Mustang too:


Five star looks good but not much else..lol.
I've always wanted the 6-7-or 10 point but it never would have looked right on that car..I'll bet yours looks even better in person though

I love 10 spoke wheels. AWESOME!

Now I see exactly what mine will look like w/20's at that height, because mine won't be dropped. (although it does look better) A "diva" can not be bothered with any of the headaches lowering may bring. hehe

Is it possible to drop the front only about an inch and not have my tires wear excessively?? What exactly are the CONS? (the pros looks and maybe handling) Can someone explain the cons in Diva terms?? That would mean I am not a mechanic. ;-)

Comparison Shots?

IP37, do you have any "before" shots? I'd love to see the 19" v 20"s side by side...

Diva from what i was told, a 1" lowering job up front will not be to dramatic and should set within the factory camber. i know mine is dropped up front about an inch and i think its ok. Granted i don't care to much right now until i get coils.

Nice. I had a black 01 Bullitt. And since we're talking about mustangs.. I saw a 93 hard-top convertible at the shop that mounted my wheels. Ever seen one of them?

Before, sort of the same angle as one of the others..
