Go with the 30 in the back. If the diameters of the tires are too far from stock, it can cause the VDC and ABS to have a hissy fit.

I would lower the car, yes. Do some research though when lowering on 20's. I'm not sure how much drop you want to go with, but probably less than 1"

Try going without it. Arodbrs has 20s and I can tell you it's a perfect fit with stock suspension. Then again lower is better.

Did you already order your wheels? I bought my Black Rhino (TSW subsidiary) wheels from a shop in Monrovia, beat even the lowest price I could saw on the Internet, TSW dealer and TireRack installer for the SGV.

PM me if you need the name/number.

Yeah I got them from internet a place in florida for 1500.00 with shipping and with the tunner lugs. Tires are going to be Michellens in the rear and toyo in the front for 650.00 with shipping, i think its a very good deal, in town everyone wants like always 2900 for the rims and 1100 for the tires. So i thinki came up.

How is the ride, Do you have to be careful, Since the tire is so thin, Do you have pics?

If you haven't received the Thurxtons yet I think I can get them for less than $1300 for you.

I don't know about their tire pricing, they are very aggressive on their wheel pricing (I bought mine there as well) give the shop a call.

Luxury Motorworks in Monrovia - (626) 256-4849 - ask for Jacen and tell him Jonathan with the FX35 said he would take good care of you. (I was there yesterday for maintenance on my LX470 and asked about your wheels.)
