So are you saying to stay away from 20s if you can only lower yor car 1 inch?After buying rims i wont be able to afford motons right away.

We have done Motons with 20" wheels and it is plenty low for most people with a less than 1" drop (3/4"). Any more than that and you will rub often, but if your OK with that they look SICK lower!

Id stick to a 19/20 setup. The car just looks better with a different sized fron and rear rim. The way that they made the fender, the rear rim needs to be bigger in my opinion. Im very happy with my setup. I see pics of 20/20 setup and while it looks good, I just dont think it goes with the overall look and stance of the car.

Here's mine with 20/20" and KW coils.

In my humble opinion the Eibach lowering won't cut it with a 20" front wheel. I think the stance looks wrong when you have a 20" front wheel and the lowering is not aggressive. The front of the car appears to be floating in the air. Once again these are just my personal thoughts.

With just eibachs, I'd stick with 19's up front. Just FYI I don't rub at all (front or rear).

Also if you need something a little less costly than the MOTONS you should try the KW. I think they are about 1000-1500 less approx.

Call Partsrack.com and ask for JonB, tell him Derrick from D2-AUTOSPORT sent you:2tu:

With the current exchange rates (Euro vs. USD) thats a steal of a price. I'd save for the KW's if I were you. You will not be disappointed with them! Good luck

Here's mine with 20's all around and lowered with KW V2.

What size is your front tire? 275/30-20? 285/30-20?

We have the same color car, same lowering and same spoke style. Good thing we didnt get the same center finish huh? lol

DII, you know that I love your taste in wheels as well as the suspension system on your car. I'm waiting for the pictures of your 08 hood so that your snake will totally hurt me (hint, hint..... order that hood real soon).

It's rare to have two people with such great taste on the same board!:2tu:

My fronts are 285/30-20. Which tire size are you running?

Any body have pics of 20s all around with just eibachs or not lowered at all.

20's all around without any lowering. The front wheel wells are 3/4" higher than stock and the rears are 5/8" higher than stock. I decided for such a small increase, I did not want to bother lowering the car. New tire sizes are Front 275-30-20 and Rear 345-25-20.

LOL true indeed! I'm running 285/25-20, I wanted to keep the overall diameter the same as stock so I could slam it without rubbing. My 20" tire is a smidge SHORTER than my oem!

Bro thanks soo much man. I stared at your car for months when I finally found a slammed car with 20/20! lol

I have some other "go" mods to do before a hood so it'll be a while before I get one. I want to do the basics (intake, exhaust, vec3) just to give the car a little more pep.

Plus I want/need a RB1 too.

Jesus man I need a money printing machine for the stuff I want to do to this car!
