Good thing is that the wheels are already polished, they would probably have to be masked and brilloed up slightly, but there is no clearcoat or other coatings, so it is basically ready to get done up.

The 20' inch will only fit the rears. You can only get 19's in the front. i was thinking the same as you but your only option is 19's in the front and 20's in the rear. The Brembos kill our options

Thanks Ron. I like the staggered look. I will definately be getting these in the future. Probably after the winter since I live in NJ.

Thanks,
Fernando

If you go with a 19 in front and 20 in the rear what size tire would you put on the rear / would it rub? Also how big is the lip on the 19 vs the 20? Very clean wheels

19": 1.25" lip
20": 2.25" lip

Rears and fronts will both not rub at all, Tires for the 20" are 235/35/20 or 245/35/20 will fit, but I suggest 225/35/20 to maintain the closest overall diameteer same as stock and it will look like a 20" wheel with the 225.

expensive wheels to wrapping in 225/35/20 inch tires... i still think the safest bet is 19's even though these 20's look great on the car.

Those rims are tough! My favorite RJs 2nd to the 3pc version. That black TL shoulve got black spokes with the chrome hoop but it really just needs the center caps.
Whats the recomended size for an 03typeS(19x 8.5?)and do the monoblocks come in black?
I'm looking for 19s with the most lip possible without sticking out 2 much
