willtheyfit.com is a good resource for guesstimating

thanks, I will check out willtheyfit.com.

While the 20" wheels are bigger, they are the same width (8.5"), and overall diameter (ie. height) with proper tire should be the same for 19" or 20"...
so I wouldn't expect the height to be too much of an issue----- more concerned with the offset (ET).
I'll plan on getting 5mm spacers for the front----- they'll also be good for the winter wheels !

Thanks for the heads up.

Any reason why you didn't go with 5mm spacers all around?
Did you need longer lug nuts or will the OEM's do?

The rears are perfect and there is no need for spacers. The tires JUST clear the fenders. If I were to add a 5mm spacer in the rear, it would rub 100%.

I used longer lugs, OEM's could work, but I didn't feel that the screwed into the hub enough. I am way more comfortable with the slightly longer lugs. Lugs aren't expensive, so I would suggest going with the extended lugs.

Is this your car? It is Sick! Honestly, I think it looks good the way it sits now. Are you running Eibach Sportline springs currently?

Other than not being low enough, how would you describe the sportlines? How's the ride quality? Are you still on stock shocks? Any rubbing issues? I'm thinking about selling my H&R sports and going with the sportlines as I don't think the H&R's will be low enough. Thanks!

yeah i still use my stock shock. i think eibach is more comfort than H&R. eibach sportline i think is the lowest springs u can get for e60.
