I possilbe please pos some pics of this set up if there are any along with wheels specs, sizes and offsets as well as tire sizes. Help would be mucho appricated I would hate to end up with a set of rims and then have another $1000 in work needed to make them sit right. Thanks in advance.

No drop means no camber issues but you will want to get an alignment just so that they balance well.

technically,it will be affected, just not enough to probably notice, and will only add negative camber to give more clearance

No drop = no camber problems.

But it's not going to look right without a drop.

I just did 20's with no drop and I think it looks great. Check out the thread below for pics. Personally, I am not a fan of lowered cars though.

you would think stock suspension would mean no camber issues, but that's not the way it actually works. I'm on stock suspension and with 20x10 in the back with a 285/30/20 and there is a lot more negative camber then with the stock 18" wheels on. You can see in this pic how much the tire leans in.

20's look fine with no drop, fills the wheel well. Itll look better with a drop thoiugh.

Lol. These cars come with negative camber stock for better handling, but that is not a lot of negative camber at all. You should see how my tires are leaning in right now and I am only dropped on H techs, had to order a camber kit or else I would have had issues. But if you do put 20's, definitely drop it. I thought I ddint have to, but with the drop it looks soo much better.

What if you did 20's in the back and 19's upfront.

Like a 20x10.5 and 19X9........how would that sit
