20x8.5 will fit (although it is a very tight fit), another texas member did it years ago (withought bags however)... when u go that wide the offset is crucial. what offset are your wheels?

i have to check i think 40 but at its tucking point there is about half a inch clearance

well the way our rear suspension works, the wheel tops will camber in hard on full compression, but will even out (be vertical) at actual ride height, so going by the clearance to fender measurement is not an accurate way to compare offset. my wheels are flush on tire tuck but i'm on 19x8.5 +48 235/35zr19 (camber corrected for ~3" drop) meaning that i may have even less clearance to fender than you if you are not camber correct at the same height. the reason i asked your offset is because i may be upsizing to 20's soon (my 19's look too small to me w/ my kit) and wanted to compare your fitament to what i'm planning.

im pretty sure i can give up on the vip styling now. its really not following any trend any more. i guess im just in the dub club now lol

**IVORY_G** · 01-07-2009, 07:52 AM

Lol, just plz dont put those Ghetto stickers/decals that Ive seen in my hood like 20", DUBS, etc. It kills the look of the car.

I'm loving how the Back is tuckin..SICK!..Too bad the front doesn't lay out more

Here's a pic from when I tried on my friends 20's they were 20x7.5- Tucked right in.

**ricky_db** · 01-08-2009, 12:12 AM

buying that air setup was the single worst investment i have payed for royally. no front tuckage!! did you have to cut anything in the from to get it that low? i can get maby a inch n1/2 if i start cutting stuff out but then my front sway bar linkages wont fit any more

thanks! i think i may do it... but the wheels i want make my current wheels look cheap and my current wheels are more expensive than my car... i'm going to have to think carefully about my next steps w/ this ride.
