20x8.5 38et kmc black dime wheels
So, i have been looking for wheels for a while and i am pushing it to the limit. i found these wheels and they are going on monday. already test fitted and will work with negative camber. may rub with stock hight, dunno till monday. these wheels are beautiful in person and pics will be up soon! oh, falken 225/30/20 tires are being mounted. neuspeed race springs and struts hopefully real soon as well. 2.2f, 2.0r drop.

they look good and cant wait to see what it looks like. its going to look funny without it being lowered, i would get that done asap. 225/30 on an 8.5 inch wheel is just crazy. be sure to get some good pics

225/30 is insane (for daily driving) on an 8.5 wheel. your forgetting the aspect ratio.....225/30 will stretch more than 225/35s. by shortening the sidewall the tread streches more
oh yeah, where are these pictures!!!

Gonna cost to catch up
Hrmmm i really like the wheels, they are money. But it looks like they are sticking out alot and im sure you will have to atleast roll the fenders. You need to get this lowered asap tho cause its a 4x4

im not a fan of black wheels but i am a fan of 20s so i give you props on that note. im glad you put dubs on there, ill be with ya next month i would get coilovers, you might want to look at tein SS or k sports because of how the wheels stick out a little, youll want a pretty firm ride so you dont fuck something up.

that really isn't super aggressive fitment
cl's can accommodate 9.5's out back with low 30 offset with the right stretch and camber and rolling
and 9's up front with high 20 offset with camber and stretch (I've done it)
We actually can accommodate a lot more aggressive fitments than most people think
my car looked exactly like yours before I slammed it....but once you do slam it trust me, the fronts will be actually tucking quite a bit and the rears will still have a half finger to a full finger gap room between the fender lip even if you dont roll your fenders
I'm running 205/40's out back on 9's and 225/40's on 8's up front and have no problem whatsoever once slammed...I actually want to go 9.5's out rear and 9's up front on my next set and roll the shit out of my fenders to get a 240 stance

Because with a Spring/Shock combo.....you CANNOT adjust your ride height. If you put in springs, your car gets 2.5" lower, and your wheels are sticking out of your fenderwells, what are you going to do?? You cant quite raise it back up unless you place the stockies back on!
