Question Ideas on rimsss

The rims I want are: (had them on my V6 but were totaled with the car...)

SHELBY TORQ THRUST MS CHROME

I want to stagger it, I wanted to put 19x10's in the back and 18x9's in the front but they dont make it in 19". I think it would look weird but what do you guys think about 20x10's in the back 18x9's in the front?

20x10?????Those will be heavy as ***. Just go 17x9 & 18x10 if you want that look.

Yeah I'd have to say that sounds more appropriate. IMO anything bigger than 18's looks kind of oversized for the New Edge bodystyle.

noooooo lol When I had these rims on the V6 the 18" looked a size too small... it didnt fit the wheel well perfect how I would like.. i think that 20's even just in the back would be too big but i wasnt sure if anyone here did it and I could see how theres looked.. I'l probably end up 18x9 front 18x10's back

18's are the max you should go. Go with 18's and run H&R Sport springs, that will give you the look you want.

Beat me to the punch. I was gonna say it needs to be lowered to get that wheel well filling effect....unless you want it to look like a ghetto cruiser or a 4x4. LOL

Here is my car, I am running the stock 17s with H&R sport springs and stock iso in. If I take the rear ISO out, the rear will sit lower. 18s would fill whatever gap I have left.
