Coilover or New Wheels?!

Hi, so initially I want to get the coilover for my car but my friend have a set of Lowenhart MD1 style. However the problem is this, the front is 20x8.5" and the rear is 20x9.5". I don't know what is the offset for it, I checked behide the wheel and it didn't say anything about the offset. So what do you guys think? Should I be running into problem with the staggered setup? I'm thinking about it. Oh, btw he also has a set of BMW 18x8", I think it is from the X5 or 5 series. I need to double check the bolts pattern for it. Thx.

imo get the coilovers.
your wheels can be chosen later after you see how much room you actually have to play with.

20 x 9.5 seem risky esspecially not knowing offse.

im running 19x8.5 +35 and close dosent describe whats going on.

wait on wheels
get coils. better investment for sure.

wheels seem to come and go aswell at least for me, i have had 3 sets in 2 years. so theres always a chance to change up. suspension needs to be solid first.

Lol you need more then 600$. It is around around 800$-1000$ for ksport from 91-95 legend. You can also get Tsx (04-08) coilover but you need to reuse old components from your old oem setup. I'm planning to get the ksport in a few months. Hope that's helpful.
