Hey SummoneR.......about 3 bills per rim.
I just put them on saturday and could not be happier with the look and the job Eric did! The guys at America's Tire had to hardly use any weights the rims were so well balanced.
I will post some pics when time permits but with this lowered, tucked and Phat......I probably will not use any spacers. Luv it!

Kmcd, love the setup your car looks amazing. Just wondering, and u may have mentioned, but what did it cost u to have rears widened. I am in Houston and know a great local shop but wanted another price to compare to before dropping the $$$.

jeremywilson18 · 06-04-2012, 02:50 AM

Mainly so I wouldn't have to run a spacer.

jeremywilson18 · 06-04-2012, 04:10 PM

sounds good. I want my wheel flush with the fender so I will have to use a spacer

To the OP:This thread rules! Now I can have my rear 20x9's widened to 10.5", run 305's without spacers, and know that I will have no problems. Thank you for this thorough thread with excellent pics. I like the wide tucked look for the back and the stock front 8" wheels as they sit stock.

Sorry for the slow response (haven't looked at this thread for a while).

I spent $250/wheel at Wheels America in Dallas.

Thanks for the kind words, and good luck on your setup. I'm pretty sure you're going to like it.

Actually I am in the market for 2 rear MS 20x9 wheels to send off for widening and this way I can move my current 20x9"s to the front w/ 275's and mount the 10.5" widened 20x9s on the rear with 305s. I am one of those picky people who can tell that the rear rims have a deeper hub area than the fronts. I'll end up selling my fronts.
