All you 20 X 8.5 Rim owners

Just got some installed on my ride today. Back seam very stiff, stiff to were if i push down on the trunk my ride doesnt even move. Ride is a little noiser, but it doesnt seem to rum anywear. Not that i can hear anyway. if you look in the rear wheel well there is about a 1/4 of a inch clearence between the top of the tire and the bottom of the spring. hope that dont move to much........

Just wondering if anybody with this size rim is haveing any problems...

the tire size is 245/35/20.....

Over all the new rims and tires are about 1/2 inch taller and a 1 inch wider....... I just hope i dont run into any problems....

as of right now everything just seems very very close. rims come right to the edge of the body now also...

Do you have any pics of your ride with the new rims?

I have a 40 offset. 225-35-20 tires since im dropped. If I have people in my back seat, my tires rub in the back.So now I never have anyone sit in the back. My rims sit perfect and not to wide that they stick out from the body. 245 tires should be fine since ur not dropped.Dont push down on the trunk lol

Working on some pics, It has been raining here in IL for the past 3 days. Figures.

"Dont push down on the trunk lol" tell me about it LOL

Just dont need it rubing on the tires and chewing those up. If it ever stops raining i will take some pic and you all can give me your opinion.

From what i know i was the first customer to own a set.
