you could always look for some used 18s or 17s or something on CL or the market place, rock them for a few months until you can afford the drop, then boom, get your 20s. Get any snow where you are in Washington? If so, you'll have some wonderful winter wheels if you get those 18s or 17s.

Too me it wasn't that high until i lowered it 1.2 front and rear 1.1 and now i can tell the BIG difference. I rode around for 3.5 years with out it being dropped.. I have no fender gap in the front and one finger gap in the rear.. cuz the wheels are black it's gonna look no difference unless far way.

I'll post some more pictures after i get off work.. this way i can show u before and after pictures

This sounds really appealing to me x_x We do get snow, but sometimes we go 2 years without any, so it's pretty random... I suppose it wouldn't hurt to be safe. Why couldn't they just make 18's staggered x_x ugh. I suppose this isn't a time to be picky. Thanks for your input.

Still looking forward to more pictures though :-D Cause, well... I am a butthead and love fatty wheels.

There are plenty of people who run 20's that don't look ghetto, look around.

Or I could just leave my G in the garage for longer even though the sun is coming out

Anyways, thanks for your input everyone. I'm now more persuaded to not get the 20's.
As long as you don't get the lowest springs possible you can just correct your toe to be in spec, camber doesn't eat your tires up nearly as bad as toe. That way you just need to get an alignment.

Unless you are waiting forever your struts will last fine until you get your coils, then you can get your camber kits as well. I personally wouldn't waste money on some other wheels I don't want...
