Are your directional tires backwards? On the front-left at least. And they do look good, I like them.
 
What is the offset (for future readers reference?)
did you actually read what i typed?
How bad do they rub when you turn or take like the bottom of a hill?
they dont. at all. theyre 4mm taller than the stockers and they clear the knuckle by about 8mm. i trimmed the rear fender lip just to be safe but i doubt it would have even rubbed there. no spacers, nothing but rims and tire there.

yeah my dumb ass little brother put them on for me. he works at les schwab and didnt even look when he was done LOL. it got fixed 5 min after those pics were taken.
 
nice! I just picked up a similar set but 18x8.5 with 40 offset.

those might stick out from the fender the tiniest bit. 40mm is a good backspacing but for 8.5" i think a 45mm is better.
 
Looks great. I like the mesh style wheel. I just got my ADR 20 x 8.5 +40 offset trying to figure out tires now. Can you take some pictures showing the wheel directly on (from the front, down the side of the car)?? I'd like to see how flush they are.
 
Did you get the car aligned? I am a little surprised at the width of the tire on a 8.5 inch wide rim but if you're happy then congratulations! They look better than the stockers and undoubtedly perform better as far as cornering etc. You live in the Rockies; you did save your stock wheel/tire combo right? Or a wheelset that is smaller diameter, 16s or 17s with snow or all season tires? Large wheel diameter with small sidewall doesn't perform well in snow/ice. Those wheels/ tires aren't going to cut it come snowfall.

im buying front and rear camber kits from RRE this week then itll get aligned. and of course i saved my stock stuff LOL i didnt drop $1700 on these things to be paperweights after a couple of years.
 
Well then man you are set to go! Kickass! Good thinking and good planning! Too many people buy new wheels/tires; sell the old and then get screwed when winter comes. You can probably save the money on the rear camber kit just buy the front and do the rear camber adjustment with the longer bolt/ washer setup in Vfaq. It sounded cheesy but works very very well and costs very little compared to a rear camber adjustment kit. I got Grade 8 SS bolts and all SS washers.
 
Nice Look On 19's. Im Running 225/35/18 On Mine. I Wana Get Some New Rims N I Do Want 19's For This Summer.:d
