What's the best way to get the car on 4 jack stands? I don't own a big hydraulic jack where I can just jack the front and rear directly and put on 2 jack stands at a time..I only have a smaller hydraulic jack that can only jack 1 corner at a time.

Just go around all four corners, don't alternate though, do front then back, or vice versa. just don't jack it up too high at a time, and you will be fine.

LOL, that must be seriously loud to sell them and go back to stock. So, you would get another set of 20's or would you upgrade/downgrade to 19's? I mean if you want the best "ride" get the 17s. eek!

Just a hint, with quite a few tires, odd diameter sizes (15,17,19) are a bit cheaper than the even sizes, dunno why... I just see that rather often

Nope, i couldn't roll that way. I have an '06 so i have the 18's, but I thought from what i read, 17's have the best trade off of comfort to performance. I think that's why the McF1 rolls on 17s.

Snap, i missed a crucial element of your question. I didnt know you still had your stocks. Why sell, your 20s? Put the 18s on and then ship the 20s with the rest of your stuff when you move.

18s are good, just i hate to see the big gap on the rear rims...u know.... even 18s 19s in the front..20s or 22s on the rear..i think it would look total different..and it will be a head turner..u know,...
