rim question

would like to know what you guys think of these rims with the offsets listed for my '06 on stock suspension? Only planning on lowering the front to match the stock rear height as its my wifes car and don't want her to worry about rubbing.

If you think these will work, what rubber would you recommend?

a bit off topic but different springs will give you different spring rates...

this is sort of what I'm going for, but with a lip and not the big price tag:

Most staggered setups are 20x8.5 and 20x10. If thats what you're planning on running, try and stay close to +40 with the offset. One of my staggered sets are +38 in front and +42 in the rear and I dont even come close to rubbing. Also, if you're going to buy wheels new go with a 66.2 center bore to eliminate the need for hub rings.

BTW, you dont want to just lower the front.

Lowering springs are designed to be used in sets, not pairs...

I run a 245/35/20 in front and a 255/35/20 in the rear.

A lot of other guys run a 275/30/20 in the rear but usually rub or have to roll the rear fenders.

I have had ZERO issues with my setup... (Im also dropped on Progress/Stock)

With a 255/35 you wont come close to rubbing.

I have a system and seem to either haul other people or my kids around pretty frequently.

I would rather have a slight stretched look than a lower profile 30 series and have to roll my fenders.
