I got these rims at a crack heads at a shop so my off sets are crazy I have 3 piece wheels that are 20x8.5 +22 in the front (fronts fit fine) and the back 20X10 +33 on the back my back rubs so I'm going to get my fender extended so I can be able to clear without rubbing. and yea since these rims are deeper the stock bolts wasn't lock enough because of the deeper seting.

Man.. thats some crazy offsets... is it possible for you to take a pic of your rear wheel showing how much further it jutts out.. that way i have an idea of what offsets i need to get.. or if u can give me the distance it jutts out from the fender that'll help too
thanks
thanks

i think you seriously need some extended rear fender to cover the rear wheels, it might end up looks like a wide body, which i think is cool.
edit: what size of tyre you running on front and rear?

people say ugh like it a bad thing, But I forgot some people are not a fan of 20's. I do plan to drop my car plus these rims are not heavy what so ever at all another thing its a 3peice rim which mean I can change my offset as well to but if u had a chance to get a set of $5000 for cheap would u pass it up? I'm sure of u would on here on this forum.

2. if I came across something like this that I knew didn't fit right, I'd turn around, sell them for a crazy *** profit, and go buy wheels I know fit for sure, ****, probably buy springs while I'm at it too.
3. It's not that they're 20's, it's that they're 20's that don't fit right on a stock car, if you paid like 800 bucks for them, you could have used that to buy a set of coilovers or springs/shocks instead, then gotten properly fitted wheels later. Not trying to bust your ***** man, just saying I would have done it up differently, it's your $ and your car, so ultimately it's your priority to do whatever

It doesn't matter if the wheels are the same weight as stock, you've just hurt your acceleration noticeably. Also, they look awful and having such a poor offset can lead to wheel bearing failure.

Power!!
I think 20" is too big but that's my opinion. Go with what you like, it's your car. +1 on selling the rims for a profit and getting the correct size. If you can turn these around for triple or quadruple the money you should definitely go for it.

I too have a hard time believing they weigh the same as stock. What do you base your statement on? I'm not a fan of 20s on RX-8s just like I don't like 19s, but that's not the real issue I have with these wheels. It's a combination of me disliking the style, the 20 inch size, and the fact that they don't fit. It's just a troika of bad news.
