Nice ride Jazzy- I think you were the first one I remember posting pictures when the 526's came out. Any issues with quality? Hows the chrome quality on the lip? Pitting, etc?

Still same spacer size? 25mm up front and 10mm in back? I was thinking about 15mm all around- I wanted all bolt on spacers, not the long stud install etc

Guys I need your advice.. I really want to purchase these rims soon.

I am dropped on springs and have my fenders rolled...

I am interested in going with the 20x9 20x11 +15/+15 or the +13/+13
Are the +13 more aggressive?

Also what size tire should I order... I do not want a stretched look... F: 245 / R: 275 or 285 sound good?

Please help me out thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^ +13 is barely more aggressive. If you want do +15 in the rear and +13 in the front. If you don't want any stretch i'd do 255 in the front and 295/305 in the rear. I have 225 in the front and have a nice stretch and 275 in the rear and have a mild stretch. you'll have some fat rubber in the rears

and i wouldn't recommend cutting the fenders as it weakens the fenders. rolling your fenders gives a little more support than cutting. Roll them, then if needed more clearance? then cut them

Can I throw on these wheels without cutting/rolling the fenders at stock height?

You should be able to put these wheels on at stock height and not worry about rubbing. But just in case it might not hurt to atleast roll the rear fenders.

Thanks a lot !!!!
I think I am going to go with 20x9 20x11 +13/+13 245 in the front and 285 in the back...

Hopefully it looks good and won't rub to much!!

I only have about a 1.25 inch drop with my fenders rolled
