im thinking about getting a set of black 20's to go on the LS, but i wanna hear from you guys that are running 20's... Whats the optimal size of wheel, offset, and tire size thats good for daily driving. Sizes that dont throw off the odometer or any other sensitive sensors.
I'd like a nice deep dish look as well, any recommendations??
I know you "performance heads" are going to be aggravated by my decision, take it easy on me

225/35/20 or 235/35/20 is a great tire for no rub. but most have 245/35/20, but i have 245/35/20 and i get some rub. maybe its because i have the wrong offset. because these wheels came off a chrysler concorde that i previously owned. and just had the bolt pattern redrilled. so that could be my problem. but 20''s IMO ride smoother than the stock wheels.

Keep your rim to 20x8.5 and go with a 245/35. That's what I run but some run the 225 or 235. The reason I say go with the 245 because the tires are wider and give you a little more rim protection around the lip of the rim. Now here's something that i've learned. All 245/35 tires are not the same. What I mean by that is the tires vary in thickness depending on the manufacturer. I've seen this with my own eyes. For example, when I had my old rims on I had Hankook Ventus k104 tires. They were ok but had a relatively small side wall. Now when I bought my new rims, I decided to go with the Nitto 555 Extremes because I had seen them on a friends car. These tires are a hell of lot thicker and quieter than the Hankooks. My car wheel well looks fuller and it's not even lowered. Just my experience and two cents. I hope this helps you some.
