Kinda got.that when I calculated the numbers JohnnyD gave! Thanks man!

Big thanks to Diego though for helping me on finally figuring out my offsets! Ordered my wheels today! Now the waiting game begins! :-)

Glad you got it all figured out. Which wheels and tires did you go with and in what specs?

Ended up with SSR SP1s 20x9.5 +37 and 20x10.5 +43

Still thinking of putting spacers! Maybe a 5mm and a 3mm! We'll have to see!

Definitely props to Diego!

Be sure to post pics when you get 'em on, what tire sizes are you going to run?

Been happy w/ my Proxes, but if you don't get a lot of freezing weather a quality summer tire will perform best.

They're not cheap but Michelin Pilot Super Sports get the highest reviews around here. Another tire worth considering for a bit less would be the Toyo T1 Sport, although I think you'd have to run 285/30/20 on the back I don't see the 275s listed. I'd call Andrew @ Treadepot, mention this site for the best deal, he may be able to get the 275s

You may also want to check out Tire Rack if only because they have comparison tests such as http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...y.jsp?ttid=174.
