not too bad not a big fan of the wheels, the spokes dont take up enough space. it looks too empty. but ad some brakes and paint the calipers and it will look nicer. dont lower the car unless you want it to rub. add a grille and you will be good to go.

No i just put them on in order to see what they looked like and to take some pics. They are back sitting in the garage waiting for things to dry up a bit.
That wheelwell gap is NOT attractive.
May I suggest lowering it with a set of eibach pro-kit springs, and stock Sport LS Package shocks?
Oh wait..if you lower it, you will quite possibly get rubbing and an extremely rough ride attributable to placing 20 inch rims on a car that was not designed for 20 inch rims.
My bad.

ok i love how everyone says these cars are not made for 20's but what car was? not many come from the factory with 20's...ok now that we have that out of the way, its all personal opinion but i think 20's set the car off.
Purely off the top of my head? The 300C SRT8, and it's my understanding that the engineers designed the suspension of the SRT8, around 20 inch rims. As a result, there is no rubbing and no unsightly wheel well gap. And..the suspension works WITH the 20 inch rims, not against it.
Don't get me wrong. The posters rims have a nice design. And the design compliments the LS. But from a functional and ride quality perspective....
Now those same rims in an 18 inch diameter, combined with eibach Pro kit springs and LS Sport package shocks?
Perfect.

Dame i like the rims.
I have the 20X8.5 niche vience wheels on my car and love them. I barrly lost and ride quality and gained a :q:q:q:q load of handleing. My ls corners realy good. not as good as my wrx did but ls=3900 lb car wrx 2600 lb car..

The LS rides fine and handles well on 20s. The 18s I have on my MarkVIII weigh the same as my 20s and I think that has more to do with ride than the actual size of the wheel. Mine have never rubbed, I'm not lowered but with my equip I carry for work it sits as low if not lower than a lowered LS.
Wrong offset and rim width=rubbing most of the time, not the diameter size

Looks really good. I saw those rims as i was searching for mine and just about went with those but i liked the look of the clean outer rim without the kinda bolts.
