Rims Question

i just put on some 20" chrome...i was wondering is it normal that my rims still have about 2-3 inch gap shouldn't it be closed up all the way or do you have to drop it to get that gap closed up...

bro you gotta drop any car to reduce the wheel gap. putting bigger rims on is just going to make it look worse

Sell those as fast as you can and put something no larger than 19" on there..after slamming it to the ground, of course.

Call the shop and check with them. If the offset is too low, then it will likely rub if you drop it. I'm not sure what the standard is for 20's, but I know that you should be higher than a +45 for 19's and +42 for 18's. Stock is +55.

I would check with the shop before you buy springs.

5x114.3 is the bolt pattern.

Ya they do look like the foose wheels. I would be very suprised if they do not rub after the drop. You could also try rolling the fenders once you lower it. But it does need a drop, looks like a 4x4

i made my decision im not gonna drop it...its not that bad after all...it looks high like that because i just lifted them up and put the rims on but now a couple days later its alright, not that bad its about 1.5 inches gap only...
