You guys must have mistaken me....Obviously you saw the professional part but you must have missed the 1st hand advice (that actually own aftermarket rims). What I did not want was a 16 year old kid with no experience at all chimeing in and giving bad info or telling me that 35" SHOULD fit fine but I think that you should go with 33" I just joined this forum, but am a long member of a few others, and I know that thats how they work.

Did you miss the 1st hand advice? Do you think a professional has to work at a tire and rim store? I don't, that is why I came here for my info. Ive gotten more bad info from them over the last 2 weeks Id probably be better off asking them 16 yr olds for advice.

Webster Dictionary say...
Professional- following a line of conduct as though it were a profession. I though some of you guys WERE more professional then this.

For the guys that helped I really appreciate it thanks for taking the time and reading between the lines.

I know the answer but I'm only 20 so I'm to young to say.

Ive heard this also.... and have seen first hand a PRO tell some one they would work and they broke a stud. I know this isnt the topic But watch for the right specs or youll be right back at the shop...

In my professional opinion, Jessica Alba has it all over Jessica Beale, and Raquel Welch, in her prime, is comparable to anything strutting in Hollywood today..

No matter what your angle of perspective, those treads that they have sticking out are items of mucho desire-ee-oh.. < -- true story..

maybe he meant internet professionals? lol

oh here is my internet professional advice.

Step 1: Get a Tape Measure

Step 2: Go Measure All Dimensions you can with current stock setup

Step 3: Go to this link http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

Step 4: Input Current Setup & Future Setup

Step 5: Compare Measurements for Clearance and look for possible problems.

Step 6: Good Luck!

:-)

If you are open to amateur opinions, send the 20" tires back, buy some 17" rims and your options will be a lot better. Took me 8 years to get rid of the stock 20's but never again...
