Eibach springs

In a 5x114.3 pattern, these are only available in gloss black, which isn't the look I was after. I decided to try to paint them 2-tone myself. The paint is duplicolor silver and graphite wheel paints, then spraymax 2k clear.

20 is not much bigger than 19. I was thinking the spokes extending all the way to the rim would make them look really large, but they don't look much bigger than the stock 19s.

The additional 1.5in width over stock isn't much. I wish they were a little more aggressive. If they're still available in a few years when my powertrain warranty expires, I might get 10in wide wheels for the rears. In the meantime I'm looking into spacers.

These wheels are gonna get rashed mid-spoke. I was hoping the spokes didn't arc much further outboard of the rim, and having wide 255 tires would protect them, but no. Eventually these will get curb rash in a very obvious way.

Definitions

Wheel Offset

Refers to how your car’s or truck’s wheels and tires are mounted and sit in the wheel wells.

– Zero wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in line with the centerline of the wheel.
– Positive wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in front (more toward the street side) of the centerline of the wheel. Most wheels on front-wheel drive cars and newer rear-drive vehicles have positive offset.
– Negative offset is when the hub mounting surface is behind the wheel centerline. “Deep dish” wheels are typically a negative offset.
