Re: Kinesis K20... will these fit? The wheels aren't too big for the car, if that's what you're asking; but I suppose that backspacing would be the determining factor regarding clearance problems.

Re: Kinesis K20... will these fit? I'll venture out on the limb and say that even if the backspacing is correct, you'll still have to bang in your wheel wells on the rear. Even then, you may still have problems with the wheels or tires contacting the bump stop. Banging them in is no biggie. Just recoat afterwards with some spray on undercoating.
It might not be as big a problem if you were stock but with the Prokit, it becomes a whole different story. If the wheels stick out enought to NOT contact the wheel well, you might still have a problem with the tire contacting the fender on a bump or dip. I REALLY hate the rear springs on the Prokit. I've thought about cutting a coil off the stock rear springs and trying them.
With the fronts, again, the backspacing is the key but otherwise they should fit. The only place you might have a problem is the top of the wheel against the spindle.
