20" Maido GR5 ....

I just put on my 20X10.5 rears and 20X9's fronts Maido GR5. Tires are Bridgestone S-O3's... 285/30/20's... 245/35/20's.. I also have Eibach Pro-Kit springs, but the Discount tire in El Monte CA installed Sedan Spring. I met up with Wreck today and he has the Eibach Coupe Springs. There is a big diffence in the rear, by at least an inch. You'll see in the pics. Wreck took a coupe of my car and will be posting soon. Will be installing Coupe springs this week...

Wreck,

Thanks for taking the pics. Also thanks for meeting up with me and getting the Eibach Situation figured out. Also, we'll swap wheels every three months or so..

Re: 20" Maido GR5 ....

Hey wreck, are the sedans' springs lower or the coupes' springs lower? Thanks in advance. Oh, blk6spd, nice lips on those Maidos bro. 3 inch lip in front and 4 inch in the back?

I changed the Volks, because 19's IMHO don't do this car justice. In person, the 19's looked too small. I know that 20's are just an inch difference, but it's a good fit. Also these are the only wheels that look just like the Volk GT-C's if not better.

To answer for Wreck, the Sedan springs are a little lower in the front but too much gap in the back compared to the pro-kit made for the Coupe. Wreck's ride is a perfect height, seriously, PERFECT!!! I'm getting the Coupe springs put on ASAP...

Re: 20" Maido GR5 ....

Those new wheels look real good. Your car definately stands out, it looks better in person when compared to those pics. Just curious, where did you get that tint done?

I did get the camber adjusted, but they are not up to spec. I'm going to have to buy camber adjuster soon if I want them to spec.
