Default Thanks for that link. that's helpful.

I think with some spacers that will keep the tire perfectly flush with the wheel wells i won't need to lower the car.

The tires look fat, what sizes are you running on those LS5s?

Default Thanks. These are pretty big tires.

Unlike everyone else here running after market 20" wheels I live in Boston. If you don't know... Boston has terrible roads so i decided to get bigger tires to soften whatever bumps i hit and protect the car/wheels. fronts are 245/35/20 and the rears are 285/30/20. wheels are 8.5 inches in the front, and 10 in the back. They're just big enough that i don't think i need to lower my car. In person it looks great. The rears are slightly hidden for my taste and i just ordered some small spacers to get them snug on the fender line.

By the way, thanks again for your emails concerning LED lights for the plates and dome lights. I just ordered mine recently. Hopefully they'll come in soon.
