Default Re: deep dish wheels 20X8.5

Check into TSW and similar brands... mine were less then $300 a wheel. Tires... well, they got expensive in the back... at over $400 each.

Strangely I can't see the need to try and run this car on anything taller than stock rim sizes... making the ride even rougher, tempting fate to bend a rim, doing without the tire pressure sensor system, etc. You won't even really stiffen the ride any more with those kinds of tires, all you will be doing is transmitting more vibration to the chassis.

But hey, that's just my opinion...

Again, check with TSW, etc... you will be suprised at the wheels that can fit this car. The site I bought my wheels and tires from originally (before I went crazy wide with the tires) is www.buywheelstoday.com. Also, make sure you get the proper or at least very close to proper offset calculations done before you commit to a set of wheels.

Lastly, you won't be 'breaking a set' when you only buy two rims... they sell them individually anyway, so go ahead and do whatever staggered set up you wish.

Hope that helps... Good luck!
