Thanks anyway but I got them done. I got 20x8.5 Pasati's with 245/35/20 Nexen Tires. The offset for anyone that wants to know is 34-45mm.

Yeah I was hoping they would to but thats ok, I knew the owner of the wheel and tire shop and I trusted in him to get it right and he did. he even gave me a 500.00 discount. I tried to upload pics one time but I cant figure it out. I had even downloaded that photo bucket and it still wouldnt let me. So I will try it again soon..Thanks

Well I got the pics faster than I thought with my 20"s on it...The one with the lights on is the H.I.D. conversion that are 8000k which are white with blue tint but hard to see in the picture. Also the SLE emblems were silver but now have black overlays... let me know what you guys think..Thanks

Its a wind deflector and its pretty cool looking. I have the vents up in the pic and thats how you get air in the car. everyone that sees it in person thinks it pretty cool.

Those 20's look great slipped in there. Nice style choice on the wheels. They have the custom look without standing out and screaming. Very similar to mine. :wink:
