TL SH-AWD 20" Giovanna Mecca 20x10 Rear 20x8.5 Front

I put these on early summer and finally took the time to post. I believe the rear offset is +40 and front +25 275/30/20 rear and 235/35/20 front. I also did Tein coil-overs. I only dropped the car about 1" and had to roll the rear fenders. I still get an occasional rub on that tab when I have people in the back and go over a decent bump. I need to remove this eventually. I have put about 12,000 miles and only experienced a bit of inside wear so I'm not going to worry about a camber kit as it is only 1.8 degrees in the back. If I decided to drop it down lower I would go with a camber kit for sure. For now I am just having the rear tires flip flopped on the rear rims and I fully expect to get another 12,000 miles and may even flip flop them again after that. These are great rims and very strong. They have taken some really hard hits and to my surprise have not been bent. I will try to add more pics but most that I have are too big and I need to figure out how to reduce their size to upload them on here.

Looks like my rear camber is a bit more than 1.8

2.4-2.5

Looks nice! You need to go lower though to complete the look and I must say the front offset is weak; the wheel is tucking.

Nice stance. How come you didn't go with a square setup?

Thank you, I agree, I'm planning on doing some wheel spacers on the front. Doubt I will go lower, I don't want to deal with inside tire wear and or a camber kit. I had it about an inch lower at first and being a DD I was scraping way too much.

Thanks! I was going to go with a square setup at first so I could rotate but I just really liked the way the staggered setup looked and the extra concave and width of the rear rims just gives it an aggressive appearance.

Nice set up! Although i was curious as wouldnt the staggered set up be bad for the SH-AWD? Im new to the TL and currently looking into wheels and suspension also
