Ok thanks guys keep it coming.

I'd like to hear about your setups with 20" rims.
- Width, offset and tire size?
- Fenders rolled or not?
- Rubbing?
To me, they both look like Schmidt, so I don't give a Schmidt!!!!

Sorry, I couldn't resist with the name and all. Of the two, the phantoms look better to my eye.

Schmidt Phantom Line looks better, but I prefer the wheels you have got

Yeah thanks they are nice but I guess it's just the desire for a change.

Phantoms, 20", max 8,5" and 245's in front to avoid rubbing/rolling fenders, send your old wheels to me for free and you're all set for 2010

I run 9X20 ET20 with 255/35s in front and they're a little too wide so I need to run 5mm spacers to clear the spring support plate on the right side. This on standard shocks and Eibachs.

As mentioned 19" will look tiny so skip that.

I'm really sceptical about going 20" . Looks like it's all up to luck if the tires will rub or not.
Here's member's Marko H's ride with 19" setup. I don't think they look too small .
