maybe your poly bushings are making everything stiffer up front and not allowing further adjustment?

Andrew, you're making me stiffer up front.
Okay, looks like I'm going with 20's that Majofo found me for a great deal...
I just need a cheap and pretty option that won't crack!

Anyone know what the oem size equivalent is for 20's? I'm assuming 5mm smaller sidewall and same as the oem?

J-nice you are correct on dropping 5 off the sidewall...

255/35/20 for the front and 285/30/20 for the rears....

$750 shipped...custom battleshit grey powder...
I like the look, the custom color and the price...
unauthentic wheels really tell people you're your own man too

Not too heavy, hopefully won't crack...and will have my 20's and can keep my oem as a back up.
I just don't have time to deal with BS with the car right now.

The wheels. They're the best wheels, spectacular to look at really, the best wheels ever made for, let's face it - the best car ever. And they're so great that they'll never crack and they'll be able to do burnouts for days and donuts and making elevenses. The best elevenses ever made with great big billows of tire smoke. Simply the greatest wheels.

Shit what are the specs on the rears? Can you really run that much concave on the wagon? I never figured we could get much concave on the wagon with the terrible offsets we have to run. The color is awesome.

Always a bad sign when the "dorktor" walks in with just a mouse trap and half a bottle of cheap vodka.
