I was told by the tire shop that they are 25 offset f&r. The fronts are in a little more than I wanted. The rears are perfect. I called Konig last week and I believe they said the fronts are 35 or 38. I think I will order a Kicks spacer set . I just dont know what size I will need? 15 or 20mm. I wanted to weigh them but they didnt have a scale. I picked up the rear wheel and it didnt feel like it was over 30 pounds. But I really dont know. however they are forged wheels.

Since you have 255 in the front and if the offset is +35, I'd go with 15mm spacer. If you had 245 in the front, which is ideal for the 8.5" rim, I'd go with 20mm.

Krazyed, The 20X8.5 have been avail for a little while. The 20X10 is what I waited for. Can you post a few pics of your sedan?

The reason I went w/255/35 and 275/35 is I still have the height stagger front to rear. Also I used the wheel calculator to figure out the sidewall height as my oem 19's.It also filled the fender gap in by another.4 to .45". I know my speedo is off, only 3%. Not SO bad. These tires are so much more quiet than the oem tires, it even rides much smoother than with the 19's. I must say it feels as good as when I had the stock springs on her. Only time will tell. Do any stores carry WHEEL WAX? Kragen, Pepboys, Auto zone etc......
