Default Ordering some wheels

Did some calling around and was told that the Niche Venice and the Foose Speedster wheels were no longer being made in the size I need so I'm going to go with black American Racing Casinos 20x8.5 on Toyo Proxes 255/35s. I'm planning on ordering next week so I should be getting them the following week. I'll post pics once they're mounted. Below is a pic of the wheel.

go with a 245/35/20 to avoid rubbing issues.

Nah, I had 245/35/20s before and they open up too much wheelwell gap as they are 1/2" shorter than the stock tires. I'm counting on rubbing which is why I will probably roll the fenders before mounting them.

I thought about those but I see them a lot, but that's b/c they're nice wheels. Good choice.

Thanks. I actually think they look similar to yours, but yours are a little nicer. I really wanted the black Niches though. Those are nice!
