you will have to roll your fenders so you're tires will not rub. You will have to lower the car, I'm guessing like 2". I have Cattman coilovers so I don't really know the exact amount that I dropped the car to fill up the gap. But, yes, you WILL need to lower the car just like if you put on any other size rim to keep it from looking 4X4ish. The speedo will be off around like 3mph. so if the speedo said you were going 30mph, you'llactually be going like 33mph. The performance is cut down with the rims on since the overall diameter is bigger anf the rims/tires are heavy. Thats why I say only get 20's if you are going for looks. But because of the V6, you can still kick assbut not off the line. Don't worry, it's not like you'll be losing like 50hp just because of the rims. Hope this helps a bit
