I take that you are keeping your car then? 2 weeks ago you were selling those 20s weren't you ?

There are people on here who have had problems and some that have not - It mostly has to do with the offset of your wheels. I just put springs in my car and I'm one of the lucky ones I guess - no problems.

There's some pics in the thread I just posted and in my gallery:

Speed bumps and steep driveways can be a problem.

Look at my cardomain pics. I have 20's with sprint springs I love the look.. Its funny when I had toyo tires no rubbing problems but when I got new falken tires rubbed a little and there both 245 35 20 tires. I just cut a lil out in the wheel wells in the back no problems at all now :) All you have to look for is the offset of your rims... With the wrong offset you will probably have lots of problems

I just put 20's on my 02 LS and i am happy with the way it look as is. im not lowering the car at all. the tires are 245/35 and the gap is the same as it was with my original tires.

Take a look at my photo gallery, I put Eibachs on with 225/45/18 in thoe pictures. I now have 245/45/18 rears. Aslo might want to consider new shocks since everything is out.
