Default GXP Aftermarket Rims

How would you think a GXP would look with 20 x 8.5's in front and 18 x 7.5 in rear? I know there is torque steer with FWD GXP's and I like the way my car handles now, but I have the itch to buy some rims. Any input?

GXPgray, how do the 18X8s fit on the rear? Do you have any rubbing. I badly want to buy another pair of factory 18X8s. I hate not being able to rotate the tires.

I have 18x8.5" all the way around, but with 235's. They fit fine, I'll be putting 255's all the around in a couple weeks.


20 on the front and 18 on the rear would look horrible.

They fit great...but with me being lowered and running the same size tires as the front (oem potenzas)...i do rub in the rear over some bumps...I have subs as well though.

Has anyone ever replicated the staggered stance in an aftermarket wheel? And by replicate I don't mean exactly the same size...
