Default American Racing 20'' Wheels Question, Please Give Feed Back

I have been wanting to find and purchase Wheels for my 2000 WS6. I came across theses wheels on tire rack and saw the price. I am not a 20'' wheel kinda guy. I am more like 19'' and 18'' inch wheel person. BUT for 111 dollars a wheel I could be a 20'' guy. So, my question is do you think I could pull off these wheels on a 2000 WS6? I plan on dropping the car next with either Eibach Sportlines or Pro Kit. Do you think I COULD put eibach sportlines on my car and not rub on 20'' wheels? Do you think it would look alright? I dont want to look like a rapper or 50 cent. I just want a clean ride. thanks let me know.

The wheel design itself looks good, but I've personally never seen even a 19" wheel on a 4th gen that didn't look too big. Even some 18" setups don't look right on the 4th gens. Just my opinion.

I think the sidewall with those 19's looks too thin.. I couldn't imagine with 20's.. If you like it, it's your car.. just post pics when it's done..

I run a 285/30/20 on the back of my TA I will try to take some pics of its tomorrow. The wheels are really dirty though, Its a daily driver and its been raining alot lately. I think the size is perfect on the back. I run 18's on the front and wish they were 19's.

Yeah maybe the Eibach Pro Kiit would work.

Yeah that would be awesome if you could post some pics! Why would you not run a 20'' in the front? Just curious

I think 20 may be pushing it for a lowered car if your not going for the gangsta look, but thats not a bad price per wheel. the only opinion that really matters is yours so do what you want.

Yeah, I might just have to find a different wheel. I just figured for the price I might post it and see what people think.

Between the springs and those wheels, you are going to burn thru rear tires. Mikes car is awesome! They built my car, they do yours too?

No, I just know him from meeting him several times and BS at his shop in the springs. I have a YSI build though he will be doing in the near future . What do you mean I would be burning theough rear tires? Bottoming out on the wheel well?
