Here are a few more pictures, one side by side and a close up of the bow in the spokes. The real difference besides the rivets is the bow of the spoke on the legend is more severe leaving a huge lip even on the 8.5" rim. You will never get a big break kit to work with either of this rims, but the Legend is even closer; itcomes within a 1/4 inch of the stock brake caliper. Hence I have to sell the Brembo kit I just bought[:@]

Ok, I finally decided to go with the new Legends.Something about that wide lip on the back and the classicclean look. I ordered them from Mike over at Cruizinconceptswholesale and he was great to deal with and gave me a great deal. I did notice that the tires were sized 245/35/20 for the front and 295/30/20 on the back. Is that normal to have 35 in the front and 30 in the back? Thanks again for all of your help here on the forums (Sawyer your awesome).

Yes, that is what I have.
When UPS drops them off, the driver will bang on your garage door and walk away (why are most of these guys such dicks). If you are able to see him he will be very pissed. When you see your back rims you will see why they are freaking huge!! You will love them

Banshee, don't worry, they will be good. That 35 and 30 number are not a size in millimeters or anything, they are an aspect ratio of width to height. Here are the sizeson those 2 tires (front and back).

Front 245/35/20Rear 295/30/20
Sidewall: 3.4" 3.5"
Diameter: 26.8" 27.0"
Circumference: 84.0" 84.7"

So as you can see even though it sounds like the back will have a smaller sidewall because the number 30 is smaller than 35, the sidewall on the back is about 1 tenth inch bigger. Sounds like a good combo. -Joe

Wow, those Legends are NICE!!! So nice in fact, that the crappy Ford rotors/calipers looks extremely out of place under there. That's the first thing I noticed when I slapped my nice 20's on, how much the Ford brakes look like crap under there. Big brake kits are sooooo expensive though....

Exactly why I bought the Brembo kit. The problem is a big break kit will never fit with these rims. I have the rims and the break kit advertised and what ever I sell first will make the decision for me. Really sucks cause I love the rims, but the breaks look sweet....Sophies Choice[&o]
