what do you think of this wheels on the 8, will it fit prefectly??

Hey guys, I am seriously considering this wheels.. the MSW type 12.. Have anyone tried this on a titanium grey 8.. will it look good?..
also, I am planning to use the tires profile 245/30/20 for the front and 255/30/20 on the rear.... will it fit perfectly, especially the rear.. will it rub? thanks

What size is the rim? 20X8, 8.5, 9, 10? What is the offset?

IMO 20 is too much rim for the 8!

And last but not least, familiarize yourself with the "Search" function. Not only because the answers to most your questions reside there but more importantly to avoid getting flamed

They are 20 x8.. the offset is 45... my main point of this thread is to ask whether it would look nice on the 8.. I dont think I can get that kind of opinions with the "search" so, since I started the thread, I might as well throw some questions i might have...

Thank you..

20's are too much for this car. There are some people on this board we tolerate that have 20's...mostly because they have 20b's for an engine. COUGH.

I think they would look okay but the size you posted is all wrong. There are however much better options in my opinion but its your car so if you like them then.. There are 8's here with far worse looking rims.

ok, i think the MSW and 20" is out of the question.. my other option then is this.. the axis shine.... F 19x8.5 +35 R 19x9.5 +40 ...... will this look good on the 8? how about the tire F 235/30/19 R 255/30/19... or F 225/35/19 R 245/35/19 ....

sorry for asking a lot of questions, I just dont want to make mistakes. thanks

20's don't look too bad. I am all about the weight though so i would not rock them.
