    I think it'll look hot! Love that contrast with the black.

    ET is what? I assume you'll have a nice sized lip going on.

    Thanks guys. Going with ET40 all around. Should be about flush and shouldn't rub when i do the suspension. tire size i have not decided but I will probably go with a tiny stretched tire.

    Gonna look good. A favorite combo for me, but you are going to need a drop to complete the look.

    I agree...a drop will be an absolute necessity.

    Now i dont mean to hijack this thread but what does ET stand for? I know it refers to offset but what does each letter mean?

    Thanks... i will order the suspension pretty soon. I probably wont put the wheels on until the suspension is done. Never thought I would run 20's on a car, but this is a big car!

    I think after wheels and suspension I will call it a quits until I do some performance stuff. I am sure the wifey is going to be stoked when I tell her I am ordering wheels hahah.

    The term ET originates from the German word 'Einpresstiefe' which translates as 'insertion depth'.
