Default 20x8.5 on all around ok?

I've reading it's recommended to have 20x10 on the back and 20x8.5 in the front, but i'm on a budget and it's cheaper to get 20x8.5 all around cause the tires for a 20x10 wheel are more expensive. So, is it ok? Whats the difference?

Thanks.

Whats your budget for rims and tires, because I might be able to hook you up w/ a staggered set for a lot less than you think.

20x10 allows you to get the staggered deep dish look, but your tires sizes are different. On my car I have 20x8.5 all round and those are wrapped in 255x35x20 rubber.

It will work but you are already spending the bulk of the money for 20 x 8.5 and 4 tires. To up the rears, with the right connections wont set you back as much as you think. Trust me.

You should get my rims with the centers powdercoated in white. I might eventually powdercoat my centers in yellow.

I was planning on getting the black bullits from americanmuscle.com with the sumitomo high performance HTR Z II tires. How's the quality on those wheels and tires?
