5lbs on each corner of unsprung weight is actually quite a bit and would negatively affect your acceleration

Mr. ****ing tough man.. Very mature.
A 255/35 tire on a 10.5 wheel is not dangerous, able to take corners with no problems. I am sorry you have Such passionate hate for the looks.
The Cop part, "..Being a former cop..." a former Donut Munchers opinion is not something of value to me. If I was you, I would keep that on the down low.

Really???You can't see the difference in having a 10.5 concave wheel in the front compared to a 8.5 or 9?? Have you ever seen a square setup?
When you get a staggered wheel setup the front wheel will always be Flat and the rear will be the one with that sexy concave in my opinion. So The reason I said Good bye to the boring old Staggered setup up and went with the 20x10.5 square setup instead is for the Looks.


As the tire. I did a light stretch 255/35/20, I stretched the tire to not have any Rubbing and also Reduce the rolling friction in the front. My wheels and tire combo only weigh 5pounds more then the OEM 17" wheel/tire setup up. So at the end I got a deep concave all around and almost no noticable difference in handling change.
I did not have to use Camber kits at all. Just had to roll the front fender lip in a tiny bit, and still have all my fender liners intact.

I got the looks and did not delete any of the parts off the car that make it Luxury.[/URL]

Here's the specs on them, w/the outward spokes they appear that they'd clear, I'm sure if you call NicheWheels or a vendor like Need4Speed or Treadepot they'd be able to tell you for sure.
