So, should fit a D3 fine at ET 35 in a 20 x 9 and look moderately more aggressive than stock. Will need the hub centric rings to deal with hub center difference. Do not run them without the rings, and get metal rather than plastic ones.

So the wheels are going to cost as much as 1/2 of the car with new tires?
Cheers,
