I think if it was a 19" front and 20" rear that would look good, but the 18 -20 is too big a jump IMO.

I also love the CS 69's in 20's. I think they would look great. Post pics when you get them.

Oh and for tire sizes I would go 255/35/20 front and 295/35/20 rears. Nitto Invo's. Good luck.

So I should be good with same size all the way around, high wise, but I can go a little wider in the rear?

Degeze...rims look sick!
Thanks.

My wheels are 9.5" all around and I have no problems or issues with clearance at all. I guess choosing wheel size depends on what look you are going for. If you go with 20s you will probably have to go with a shorter tire, that is the reason I went with 18s. With 18s I was able to get a wide wheels, taller tire (45 series) while having the look I wanted. I have 255/45/18 on my wheels but I could have went with a 275 maybe even 295 on the rear. Hope this helps.

I want these in chrome: http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale....ts.asp?cat=308

To be honest with everyone, I really like the look of my stock fan-blades with the grey inlays. If I could get them in a wider rear rim, I'd stay with my look.

What you are basically describing is Konig Beyonds which are 18x9.5.

You should look into them.

I can't help you with your configuration questions but I can say I love your choice in rims. If were to spend money on new rims, CS69's would be my choice. I love the 058-078 model.
